What is Sublimation Printing?

Sublimation printing is a unique and versatile printing process that allows for the transfer of vibrant, colourful and high-quality designs onto different materials, primarily fabrics and coated substrates. Sublimation printing uses a special sublimation ink that turns into a gas when exposed to high heat, bypassing the liquid state. The ink permeates the surface of the material and becomes a permanent part of it, resulting in prints that are exceptionally vivid, durable, and fade resistant. A quality that is not achieved with standard printing practises. 

The sublimation process begins with designing your artwork on a computer. Once the design is ready, it is printed onto special sublimation transfer paper using sublimation ink from a specifically converted sublimation printer. The printed transfer paper is then placed on the target material, typically polyester or materials with a polymer coating. The two are subjected to high heat and pressure in a heat press, causing the sublimation ink to transform into a gas and infuse into the material's fibres or coating. As the heat is removed, the ink solidifies, permanently bonding with the material, resulting in a smooth and seamless print that retains the fabric's texture, breathability and a great design.

Sublimation printing is popular in the apparel industry for creating custom clothing, sportswear, and promotional items. It is also widely used in the production of personalised gifts, home decor, and advertising materials. The process's ability to produce photorealistic and full-colour prints with exceptional durability and longevity makes it a favoured choice for businesses, designers, and individuals seeking to add a touch of creativity and individuality to their products and projects.
