Understanding Sublimation Technology
Sublimation Printing Explained
Sublimation is a printing technique that transfers specialized dyes onto materials using heat, typically applied to polyester fabrics and coated items.
How Sublimation Works
Sublimation is a dye transfer process that uses high heat to turn solid dyes into gas, which then permeates and permanently embeds into materials like polyester fibers, creating vibrant patterns.
Durability of Sublimation Printing
Sublimation printing, due to its ability to infuse ink into the fibers, ensures long-lasting and fade-resistant patterns on polyester fabrics. However, its performance is less effective on materials like pure cotton.
Types of Sublimation
Sublimation includes printing directly onto transfer paper with ink and transferring it to materials via heat press, as well as using coated transfer paper to transfer designs onto materials like polyester.
Materials Not Suitable for Sublimation
Sublimation is not suitable for cotton fabric or untreated natural fibers. Materials such as pure cotton, pure wood, and leather cannot be sublimated.

Sublimation vs Screen Printing: Key Differences
Process Overview
Sublimation uses heat to turn ink into gas, which permeates the material. Screen printing presses ink onto the surface.
Material Compatibility
Sublimation works best on polyester and coated materials, while screen printing suits a wide range of materials like cotton, metal, and plastic.
Durability of Designs
Sublimation creates long-lasting, vibrant designs that won't fade. Screen printing's designs sit on the surface and may fade over time.
Best Use Cases
Sublimation is ideal for high-quality, full-color prints on small runs. Screen printing is great for mass production, especially with simple designs.
