Why sticky sublimation paper dry slower than regular paper ?

Sticky sublimation paper is different from regular sublimation paper , because it has a tackified coating, which will be activated by heat during transfer , and will adhere to the textile to prevent the transfer result from ghosting , especially used on flat press. 

Most of the customers have met this kind of problem . That the sticky sublimation paper dries slower than regular paper, even though the sticky paper is quick-dry type too. This doesn’t mean the sticky paper has quality problem , actually it is related with the tackified coating .

The tackified sublimation coating , is mostly made up of high molecula polymer , this type of material is water-based , unlike the regular paper doesn’t have water-based high polymer in the coating , so the drying time of sticky paper will be longer than the regular paper .

What’s more ,the tacky is inverse correlation with the drying time. In other words , the higher sticky , the slower the paper dries . So for sticky sublimation paper , the “sticky” is not the more the better, the sticky should be just right .
