What is Sublimation?
Dye sublimation is defined as the process of solid dye particles changing into gas using heat and pressure, then bond with any polymers (Polyester) present, and change back into a solid. Using these inks and a special ink-jet paper, we are able to create sublimation transfers. With a heat press and the accurate time, temperature & pressure we can complete the process by applying the printed transfer on to one of a million blanks products. When the heating cycle is completed, the image on the paper has been transferred to the item and has actually become a part of the surface. You can run your finger across the surface of sublimation and you will feel nothing.
Sublimation also allows for bright colors and photograph quality images to be transferred to a variety type of light colored Imprintables. In other words, anything white or light in color with a 100% polyester or poly coated will accept a sublimation transfer. T-Shirts, Mouse Pads, Mugs, Ceramic & Glass Tiles, License Plates, Business Cards, Trophy plates, Dog-Tags, etc…The possibilities are endless.
