What is Sublimation?
Sublimation is a printing technique that allows for full-colour printing. Heat converts the solid dye particles into a gas — known as sublimation — and bonds them to the polymer coatings.
The result is a durable print, which will not peel, crack or fade. Even if the garment is bleached - the print will remain intact!
It is also referred to as ‘all over printing’, because it has the ability to print a design
that goes from seam to seam.

Choose your garment and design:
Your Design is printed onto sublimation transfer paper using sublimation ink.
Next the print out is placed onto the fabric, added pressure and extreme temperatures are applied (usually between 350-400 degrees Fahrenheit) in a heat press.
The heat fuses the ink and fabric together.
What are the Benefits of Sublimation Printing?
1
Image Quality
The main benefit is the quality of the image that can be achieved by this method.
With no loss of resolution, the result is as clear as the source file itself.
2
Longevity
This is a real strength of the process and one which makes it so popular.
Sublimation printing results in a print that won’t peel, fade, or crack.
3
Freedom of Design.
Another huge upside of sublimation printing is the freedom of choice you have with your design.
It can be used for seam-to-seam designs with intricate details in vibrant or pastel colours.
