Industry Trends and Technological Breakthroughs: Environmental Protection and Intelligence-driven

The thermal transfer materials market is being driven by both environmental protection policies . The EU's "Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulations" (PPWR) require materials to be recyclable, which has spurred the development of bio-based inks (such as the apple pulp fiber composite technology).
The technological breakthroughs focus on two aspects 
High-precision technology: The ultraviolet laser (with a wavelength of 355nm) achieves cutting accuracy of 0.05mm, and the pulse precision reaches the picosecond level;
Intelligent production: The AI parameter library integrates 200+ types of material spectral data, reducing the debugging time from 72 hours to 2.5 hours.
Challenges and opportunities coexist: 
Cost pressure: High-power equipment investment exceeds one million, small and medium-sized enterprises need to share the factory model for cost allocation;
Standard deficiency: A unified processing parameter database has not yet been established, and the yield fluctuates by ±15%. In the future, the integration of 3D printing and thermal sublimation may open up new scenarios such as customizing shoe uppers.
