The Application Profile of Water Transfer Printing in the Product Design

Abstract

This paper briefly introduces the water transfer printing craft's basic concepts and characteristics, water transfer printing technology classification, material that water transfer printing technology uses , water transfer printing process of applications and the analysis of water transfer printing technology application prospect .

Application parameters of water transfer printing on wood-based panel surfaces

“…It was also found that there was no need to increase the water temperature more than 29 °C as it leads to unnecessary energy consumption. Similar studies in the literature reported that the water temperature was kept at 30 to 35 ℃ (Du et al 2013;Water Transfer Printing 2022). One study revealed that the water transfer process was better when the water temperature was between 30 and 40 ℃ (Wang et al 2022).…”

“…In recent years, it is seen that the WTP technique has been used to camouflage the upper surfaces of weapons and related war equipment used in the defense industry, in accessories such as pendulums, chests, armbands, rims, and covers in the automotive industry, and in increasing the aesthetic value of many plastic, metal, composite-based items used in interior design (Du et al 2013;Panozzo et al 2015;Zhang et al 2015).…”

“…Zhang et al (2016) state that applying the WTP technique on copper material has advantages such as simple equipment, operation at room temperature, and low electricity consumption. In addition to its many features and advantages, because the WTP application is a low-cost method for the sector is another prominent factor (Du et al 2013;Zhang et al 2015).…”
