AIN transfer VS traditional transfer: Comparison

1. Production efficiency: Traditional transfer involves many steps, requiring screen remaking for image changes—time-consuming and unsuitable for small/multi-batch orders. AIN transfer needs no plate-making; high-speed models just adjust files, greatly shortening cycles.

2. Color performance: Traditional transfer has poor color reproduction, easy deviation, weak layering, and blurred/faded complex patterns. AIN transfer with 8-color configuration and high-precision print heads offers fine transitions, wide gamut, and accurate details.

3. Material compatibility: Traditional transfer has narrow adaptability and conditional restrictions. AIN transfer works with multiple materials, handles special/large-volume media, and expands applications.

4. Cost control: Traditional transfer has a high initial investment, expensive consumables, and high scrap rates. AIN transfer needs no plate-making, with fewer errors, low scrap rates, durable equipment, and better long-term costs.

5. Operation difficulty: Traditional transfer demands high technical skills, with novices prone to mistakes. AIN transfer features intelligent control; staff can operate after simple training.

Choosing transfer equipment requires considering production, material, and cost factors. The AIN sublimation printer series, with diverse models and strengths in intelligence, efficiency, color, and cost, offers high value for businesses. Whether exploring or expanding, AIN delivers comprehensive solutions to seize opportunities in personalized, efficient production.
