Sublimation technology which has made it easy to enter the world of digital apparel printing. New advances in sublimation printing systems have yielded HD & photographic printing quality, a large range of colors options, faster printing & drying speeds and simple setups at our customers place. Sublimation printing is a process that requires six main Elements: Inkjet Printer, Sublimation Ink, Transfer Paper, RIP Software, Heat Transfer Machine & Fabric.

For Beginners, you may ask what is Dye Sublimation? Simply put, it’s a way to produce a transfer that can be heat applied to a garment or an object. A dye-sub printer uses special liquid ink and an inkjet process to apply that ink to an equally unique sublimation transfer paper.
The transfer is then applied to a polyester-coated surface or a polyester fabric using a heat press. The combination of the heat and the pressure causes the ink the transfer to the finished good.
In technical terms, that means that the ink turns into a gas, then is bonded molecularly to the material.   It’s a very strong bond. You can think of this as “melting” into the fibers or the polyester surface if that helps.

You only sublimate onto synthetic materials. Sublimation inks will only bond to, for example, polyester t-shirts. It can also bond to coated materials like a coffee mugs that have had a polyester surface material added. These are commonly referred to as “sublimation blanks”.

You cannot use sublimation t-shirt transfers on natural materials. Such as cottons, bamboo, hemp, canvas or linen for example. (though you may find some promotional items like bags that have been specifically treated for sublimation.)

No printing on DARK garments or blanks. From the cheapest sublimation printers on the market to the most expensive options, these devices do not use white ink. And laying down a later of white ink is what makes images look good when applied to dark garments or blanks. You can’t printer on black t-shirts, or any of the darker colors.

Dye-sublimation transfer printing technology, which have many printers types in the market. It is an unstoppable machine that delivers outstanding print quality on long print runs, day-after-day. By combining reliability with the latest print technology, users can quickly and effortlessly create high-volume sportswear, fashion, soft signage, interior decoration, promotional merchandise and much more.
