Extracting Dye-sublimation Fumes
Dye-sublimation printing is often used by those who make custom textiles using a large-format inkjet printer. Using this approach, we can print high-resolution graphics into the fabric, generating colorful and durable patterns.
However, specific measures must be followed to protect the safety of anyone in the vicinity, as is the case with any printing process. Tiny particles of liquid glycol released during dye-sublimation printing constitute a significant safety issue since they may be inhaled and cause serious health problems. These particles result from the ink’s interaction with the fabric’s fibers when heated.
A fume extractor may quickly solve this issue. Thanks to this device, you and your workers will be in a much more secure setting. A gas filter removes unpleasant smells, while a pre-filter and HEPA filter collect tiny particles from the air. This combination captures and neutralizes pollutants, making the area clean and secure—an easy and efficient method of ensuring a safe and pleasant work environment.
In conclusion, dye-sublimation printing is an excellent method for making one-of-a-kind fabrics. Still, it is essential to remember that dangerous particles may be released during the heating process. A clean and pleasant work environment may be maintained with a fume extractor. It’s a small price to pay to ensure your safety and the safety of those around you.
