Sublimation Dye Printing is a printing method that involves transferring artwork from a high release paper onto a garment. The artwork is transferred to the garment using both heat and pressure. The heat and pressure turn the ink into a gaseous state (sublimation) where the ink becomes embeds the ink into the fibers of the garment. The sublimation dye process embeds the ink into the fibers which offer incredible durability without the rubbery texture of a heat transfer. The sublimation process can not be used on cotton-based shirts and garments. Suitable materials for garments are microfiber eyelets, microfiber interlock, and mini mesh.
Intricate Design
Dye Sublimation printing uses some of the same ink-jet printing technologies that are used in today’s photographic printer.
The images created by the sublimation printers provide lots of exquisite details fabulous colorations.
We recommend using Dye Sublimation when image details matter most.
Long-Lasting Designs
Dye Sublimation printing lasts, a long time. Its durability is due to the fact that the ink used for the design is infused into a garment’s fibers. Every t-shirt recommends using dye sublimation when you want a t-shirt to have a stylish design and last a long time.
In addition to lasting a long time, dye sublimation also feels “soft”, and “natural”, because the ink is infused with the garment fibers and not on top of the fibers.
