Low or Standard Release papers usually have just the opposite qualities from high release papers. They dry very quickly, so there are rarely any smearing issues. They also work very very well on all hard goods like ceramics and FRP with little, if any, “blow out”. Unlike high release papers, however, they require much more time in the heat press to get the dye out. Reducing the press time even a little can cause colors to be less vibrant. Long amounts of time in the heat press can also cause yellowing or other damage to coatings and fabrics. This class of paper, however, is virtually immune to paper jams or other environmental issues, and works equally well in a variety of printers and environments.
As you can see, the type of sublimation paper you choose can have a large bearing on the success and cost of your sublimation printing. All sublimation papers are not created equal, and the cheapest option may not always be the best. Before you settle on one paper, take the time to test a few and see which one works best for you and your business.
