What is sublimation?

it’s a high-tech printing process used mostly for print on demand apparel.

Sublimation printing uses heat to bring ink and fabric together as one essentially. 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.

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. Full colour image won’t crack, peel or wash away from the substrate.

This quick and effective digital print method is growing in popularity for smaller batch orders and those designs that rely on the details.

Sublimation printing is also known as ‘all over printing’ as it allows you to design your artwork that can go from seam to seam.
