Evolis printers use the following two technologies:
- dye sublimation
- heat transfer
(thermal transfer)
Only Tattoo printers only perform heat transfer.
Sublimation enables colour printing with 5 or 6 panel ribbons.
Heat transfer enables single colour printing in black, blue, red, green, white,
gold or scratch.
Dye Sublimation is the process where the print
head heats up the ribbon to such a temperature that it melts the
colour into the plastic media.
Thermal Transfer also uses heat
but only enough to melt the ribbon on top of the media.
