Application Showcase
Garment manufacturers, textile printers, and promotional product companies around the world widely use our protective tissue paper. It acts as a buffer between the printed media and the heat source, effectively capturing residual ink and ensuring clean image transfer.
Common Uses
- Sublimation apparel printing (jerseys, t-shirts, polyester fabric rolls)
- Large-format textile printers using oil or electric calenders
- Rigid substrate printing for items like tabletops, floor mats, and banners
- Mug or coaster production where the ink can vaporize beyond the target surface
What Our Clients Say
Ana F., Textile Plant Manager, Spain
“Using JD’s protective tissue has significantly reduced ink ghosting and roller stains in our textile production line. Great consistency across every roll.”
Marco L., Print Technician, Brazil
“We’ve tested different brands, and this tissue holds up better under heat. It doesn’t tear, it feeds smoothly, and the GSM options give us the right balance of protection and cost-efficiency.”
Case Study: Large-Scale Garment Printing in Peru
A sportswear manufacturer in Lima integrated JD’s 19gsm grey protective tissue paper into their heat calender workflow. After switching from generic rolls, they saw a 40% drop in equipment cleaning downtime and reported better color clarity on all fabric types. Their production capacity increased by 18% in under three months, with reduced contamination and less rework.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need protective tissue paper for sublimation?
Protective tissue paper absorbs any excess ink that passes through the transfer paper or off the edges of the print, preventing it from damaging your heat press or fabric.
Which GSM should I choose?
30gsm is ideal for lightweight, short-run jobs. 35gsm and 45gsm offer more durability for long production runs and high-temperature use.
Can I reuse the tissue paper?
We don’t recommend reusing protective tissue paper. After one cycle, the paper may have absorbed excess ink or moisture, even if it looks clean. Reusing it can lead to ghosting, where leftover ink transfers onto the next fabric or surface. It may also cause unwanted smudges or heat inconsistencies.
Does protective tissue paper affect color transfer?
No, protective tissue paper does not affect color transfer quality. It sits outside the image area and doesn’t interfere with the ink or substrate. It catches any excess dye passing through the transfer paper or spreading beyond the edges.
