Printing is a technical skill, that needs knowledge and experience to do good-quality printing. You need to know how and on which surface you can use sublimation transfer. All sublimation transfers work the same way, these are no different. But I will be happy to provide you with any information you want to know.
Please send me your design image, and let us know if you need any information.
Good printing depends on using the correct combination of heat and pressure for the right amount of time; also you need to use the right from of transfer on the right type of printable material. To print with personalized transfers, you need to have a clear idea and experience regarding how the printing process works on different materials. Please take extra care during printing. If you are not sure and want to experiment, please do it on a small material at first; and do it at your own risk.
The sublimation printing process
So how does sublimation work? Well, sublimation printing uses heat to essentially bring ink and fabric together as one.
First, a design is printed onto special paper. The inks that are used turn into gas when brought under heat, then combine with the fabric and permanently print onto the fabric. The effects are permanent and less prone to fading, as the ink is embedded in the fabric or substrate rather than simply laying on top like a normal print. The heat opens up the pores of the fabric, then with the applied pressure the ink cools and returns to a solid form.
Sublimation printing is suitable for garments that include polyester or polyester blend like 50% cotton and 50% Polyester. Although sublimation is possible on other materials such as cotton, the image will not be permanent as it is on polyester fabric and it isn’t recommended. Some cotton t-shirts contain a special chemical sprayed on the fabric, so they are good for sublimation printing. Many other items like Mugs, coasters, Bags, Badges etc are good for sublimation printing. If you are not sure, please check with the manufacturer to make sure an item is suitable for this type of printing.
The result of Sublimation Printing is a permanent, full-color image that won’t crack, peel or wash away from the substrate. The process allows the ink to go from a solid to a gas without turning to liquid, a bit like dry ice. The conversion is initiated by heat and controlled by pressure.
This quick and effective digital print method is growing in popularity for smaller batch orders and those designs that rely on the details.
