Why sublimation paper get curl and How we solve the curling problem?

Second, what’s the consequence of curling problem ? 

As  we stated above, When you are printing a heavy ink loading, the paper  will scratch and damage the printer head once the paper curls.   

Third, how to solve the curling problem ?   
1.We  adopt high quality sublimation base paper instead of the offset paper.  This type of base paper is made up of nature wood pulp (softwood and hardwood), which fiber is longer, and more flexible than the offset  paper. So the better performance and the scalability can help to reduce  the possibility of the curl.   
2.The anti-curl coating. The base paper has two sides, smooth side and rough side.   Typically, sublimation transfer paper is only printed on one side. Accordingly, the sublimation transfer paper only needs to have the sublimation ink receptive coating on the side that receives and holds the sublimation ink. So the smooth side will be coated with sublimation coating and the rough side can be uncoated.  
3.But  if the paper is only coated on one side, the structure is not stable  and balanced, the paper many have an increased tendency to curl. So the second method to preventing curling problem, is to coat the wire side  with a functional coating too. The functional coating ,or named as  anti-curl coating, could provide the sublimation transfer paper enhanced  stability.   
With  above two solutions, we solve the curling problem perfectly. Saving  paper cost does not mean saving the total cost. Always a better quality help you to improve your productivity and to protect your other equipment, that’s the real saving !
