Service Overview

Our company specializes in providing cold transfer printing technology solutions for a wide range of textile applications. We offer a complete suite of services, from design consultation and material selection to printing and finishing, ensuring a seamless and efficient experience for our clients. Our expertise in this innovative technology allows us to deliver high-quality, sustainable, and cost-effective printing solutions tailored to your specific needs.

Technical Principles

Cold transfer printing technology, also known as cool transfer printing, is a novel method of transferring designs onto fabric without the need for heat. This process utilizes a specialized coated paper and a unique ink formulation that allows the design to be transferred to the fabric under pressure. The fabric is pre-treated with a solution to enhance ink absorption and adhesion.

The process involves the following steps:

Design Preparation: The desired design is printed onto the coated paper using specific inks.
Fabric Preparation: The fabric is pre-treated with a solution to enhance ink absorption.
Transfer: The printed paper and the pre-treated fabric are passed through a pressure roller, transferring the ink from the paper to the fabric.
Finishing: The printed fabric may undergo additional finishing processes to ensure colorfastness and durability.

Technological Features

Eco-Friendly: Eliminates the need for heat, reducing energy consumption and minimizing environmental impact.
High Quality: Produces high-resolution prints with vibrant colors and sharp details.
Versatile: Compatible with a variety of fabrics, including cotton, polyester, blends, and more.
Efficient: Offers a relatively fast printing process with high production speeds.

Technology Classification

Cold transfer printing technology can be categorized based on the type of ink and the application:

Dye-Sublimation Transfer: Primarily used for polyester fabrics, this method uses heat to transfer dye into the fabric.
Pigment Transfer: Suitable for various fabrics, this method uses pigments that bind to the fabric's surface.
Reactive Dye Transfer: Ideal for cellulosic fabrics like cotton, this method uses reactive dyes that chemically bond with the fabric.

Application Areas

Cold transfer printing technology finds applications in a diverse range of industries:

Fashion and Apparel: Creating custom designs and patterns on garments.
Home Textiles: Printing decorative patterns on curtains, upholstery, and bedding.
Sportswear: Producing high-performance athletic wear with personalized designs.
Promotional Products: Printing logos and branding elements on promotional items.
Industrial Fabrics: Printing on technical textiles for various applications.

Environmental Benefits

Reduced Energy Consumption: Eliminates the need for heat in the transfer process.
Lower Water Consumption: Utilizes less water compared to conventional printing methods.
Reduced Chemical Usage: Requires fewer dyes and chemicals, minimizing environmental pollution.
Waste Reduction: Produces less waste compared to other printing techniques.

Our Services

At CD BioSciences, we are committed to revolutionizing the textile industry with our cold transfer printing technology. Our services are designed to meet the demands of modern eco-conscious consumers while maintaining the highest standards of quality and efficiency. Here's an overview of the services we provide:

Polyamide fabric cold transfer printing: We specialize in the application of acid dye inks for cold transfer printing on polyamide fabrics. This process involves the use of isolation agents on transfer printing carriers, precision printing with our state-of-the-art machinery, and a final cold transfer and fixation process to produce high-quality printed textiles.
Polyester fabric cold transfer printing: We have developed a water-dispersible disperse dye ink system and a novel pre-treatment solution for cold transfer printing on polyester fabrics. This innovation avoids solvent emissions, enhances wet and rub fastness, and ensures eco-friendliness.

Innovative solutions for the denim industry: We offer a comprehensive solution from NTX-AI intelligent design and high-resolution printing to precise cutting layouts. Our high-definition NTX Cooltrans cold transfer printing technology transfers your desired denim effects onto fabric, followed by NTX-Laser intelligent laser cutting to create denim garments.
