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.
