WHAT IS SUBLIMATION PRINTING
You’ve probably heard of the term sublimation printing or also referred to as all-over-print (AOP).
Sublimation printing is a design process where inks are transferred onto the product using heat. Resulting in a long-lasting product that feature distinct colours and high-resolution quality.
The sublimation process consists of the following steps:
- Artwork is printed with sublimation ink onto sublimation paper
- The blank item is then placed onto a jig
- The garment or item of choice (tumbler, mug, coaster etc.) is wrapped in the desired design
- Then it’s pressed in the heat press mould selected and Voila!
HOW DOES SUBLIMATION PRINTING WORK?
Sublimation printing uses heat to fuse ink and surface material or fabric, depending on the case.The inks used in the sublimation process turn into gas when brought under heat, then combine with the textile and permanently imprint the desired image onto the fabric. The result is permanent, less prone to fading as the ink penetrates the material instead of simply laying on top like a regular print.
