What is sublimation printing?
Sublimation printing is a printing method for transferring images onto a polyester fabric. Sublimation refers to a process where a substance moves from a solid to a gas state without ever being in a liquid state. The ink is printed onto a transfer paper or fabric whereafter it goes through a heating unit running the inks through a heat press making the colors “POP”. The polyester fibers open up at high temperatures allowing the gas (formerly the ink) to sublimate into them, the fibers actually become the color. The printed fabric can be washed or ironed without color fading.
What are the benefits of sublimation?
Sublimation printing produces a very high-quality, brilliant, lasting image that is undetectable to touch (inside the fiber of the fabric) and has unparalleled resistance to washing.
