• What is Sublimation Printing?

​

• Process: It uses heat to transfer dye onto materials. The design is first printed onto special sublimation paper using sublimation ink. Then, through heat and pressure, the ink turns into a gas and bonds with the surface of the material.

​

• Material Compatibility: Works best on polyester fabrics and items with polymer-coated surfaces, like mugs, mousepads, and phone cases.

​

• How is it Used?

​

• Apparel: Great for printing designs on polyester clothing, such as athletic jerseys or custom t-shirts. The prints are vibrant and won’t peel, crack, or fade.

​

• Promotional Items: Used for customizing mugs, keychains, tote bags, and more.

​

• Home Décor: Can create personalized items like photo panels, cushions, and coasters.

​

• Crafting: Popular among creators for designing one-of-a-kind merchandise.

​

• Advantages:

​

• High Durability: Since the ink fuses with the material, the prints are long-lasting and resistant to wear.

​

• Vivid Colors: Produces rich, full-color designs with sharp details.

​

• Customizability: Perfect for unique, small-batch projects.

​

• Drawbacks:

​

• Material Limitations: Limited to polyester fabrics and polymer-coated surfaces.

​

• Color Dependence: Works best on white or light-colored surfaces; designs won't show well on darker backgrounds.
