Dye Sublimation: Introduction

•  Global market…

•  …key countries & applications

•  Participants –  Inks companies

–  2-3 leading players ecosystems, total of over 15 significant suppliers –  Significant mergers and acquisitions activity in 2015 –  Many ink types sold as well as dye sublimation: acid, reactive dyes; pigment

(aqueous, solvent, eco-solvent)

– Printer manufacturers

–  Fragmented – more than the number of inks players –  Wide range of machine productivities & costs

»  R2R at 1.5m web width mainly –  Segmentation into differing productivities

Justin Hayward – CIR – Dye sublimation printing

Segmentation used

•  Transfer vs Direct (low energy) vs Direct (high energy)

•  Transport: RTR vs Cut Sheet vs DTG

•  Materials are: pure polyester; polyester blend;

polyester-naturals; polyester on plastics; polyester on

rigid substrates

•  Ink-bases: water, eco-solvent, solvent
