Sublimation

Main advantages

• Possibility to produce from 1 piece to really large volumes
• Ideal technology for sports shirts
• The print is very durable, we dye the fabric fibres directly.
• The printer mixes CMYK colours with each other and obtains almost all colours
• High print resolution (5760 x 1440) makes fine details, tonal gradations look great

Disadvantages

• Sublimation works only on fabrics with a predominance of polyester in their composition

Brief information on how to do it

Sublimation is a printing technique in which a printout is made with specially designed inks that are transferred by a plotter onto sublimation (transfer) paper.

The next step is to transfer the print onto the material by means of a press, where under the influence of high temperature and pressure the print is fixed onto the substrate. Sublimation printing is recommended only on light polyester materials, the colour of the background may affect the colour of the print, it is not possible to obtain light colours on a dark background. Sublimation is most often performed on sportswear - on T-shirts, tops, sweatshirts, but it can also be performed on cushions and mugs used as promotional gadgets.
