Sublimation printing

What is sublimation printing?

Sublimation printing is a printing process that uses heat to transfer dye onto materials such as fabric, plastic, or paper. The process involves printing a design onto special paper with sublimation ink and then using a heat press to transfer the ink onto the material. The heat transforms the ink into a gas, which permeates the surface of the material and creates a permanent, full-color print. Sublimation printing is often used to create custom apparel, promotional items, and signage.
