While the name might make the process seem complicated and techy, it’s actually quite simple to understand. Sublimation definition: when a solid material turns into a gas without going through a liquid stage. This means that the artwork is transferred to an object in a gas state by using a high temperature heat press during the dye sublimation printing process. It differs from traditional printing methods because it bypasses the liquid step. There are no inks drying to the printed object.
The image is first infused onto the source printing paper, leaving little mess and making the whole process quick and easy for dye sublimation printing. Heat is then utilized to transfer the image from the sublimation paper to an object.
Here’s the deal: for the best-looking printed component, dye sublimation is the way to go.
By using this method, images won’t crack or wear after several uses and the visuals will last as long as needed.
This is especially true with our apparel, as they can be washed on a regular basis without fear of distorting their appearance.
As mentioned before, dye sublimation can be done on much more than fabrics, which is the restriction of just heat transfer printing. Dye sublimation is our main option because of its countless printing opportunities, whereas customization is a bonus.
The principal disadvantage of our type of sublimation printing is that it is a bit expensive.
