Sublimation printing is a technique that transfers designs onto polyester garments using heat. Unlike screen printing or DTF, the ink penetrates directly into the fabric fibers, ensuring a durable and wash-resistant print. A specialized printer applies the ink onto transfer paper, which is then heated with a press. The heat turns the ink into gas, allowing it to bond with the fibers of the textile.
Benefits:
- Durability – The print doesn’t fade or crack over time.
- Vibrant Colors – Enables bright, detailed designs.
- Soft Feel – No texture; the ink becomes part of the fabric.
- Eco-Friendly – Generates less waste and uses no plastics.
