Summary for sublimation paper sticking Discussion
Sublimation paper sticking to powder coating is the central concern in this thread. Rajeev Saxena asks whether sublimation heat transfer paper can be pasted onto a powder-coated surface and then covered with a clear powder coat cured at about 180-190 °C for 10 minutes, without the paper degrading or losing image resolution; he also asks for other inkjet-printable, heat-resistant paper options. The older related question from Amjad Iqbal describes paper sticking on some powder coating lots for an aluminium customer and asks whether the issue is in the powder formulation or curing, and what polyester powder formulation would be proper. The excerpt does not include any answers, so no solution is given in the source text itself; it only shows the two related problem statements.
Q. Sublimation heat transfer paper? I want to paste sublimation heat transfer paper on a powder coated surface and then apply a clear coat powder coat that cures at around 180-190 °C for around 10 mins. Will the paper be able to bear temperature for 10 mins without degrading the image resolution? Please suggest any other inkjet printable thermal resistant paper that can also be used.
