What is sublimation printing?

Sublimation printing is often heard when buying a sports jersey, but what is sublimation printing and what is the difference of it with normal silk printing?

First, we need to know what is sublimation: it is a chemical process which occurs when a something turns from a solid state directly into a gas without going through a liquid stage.

Before we do sublimation printing onto the goal object, we firstly print the design or artwork with sublimation ink onto transfer paper. Then this printed transfer paper is to be applied to the fabric or other objects using a heat press machine. It bypasses the liquid step of traditional silk printing methods.  

What is the advantages of sublimation printing?

1. No water is used during sublimation printing, so there won’t be pollution in water and environmental-friendly.

2. The sublimation printing process is short and the printed items are ready to be use, no need to be aging or washed.

3. The sublimation printed artwork is extremely clear,exquisite and HD photos and all types or painting effects can be reached.

4. Sublimation printing can have colorful effects and during heat transfer, the tar in the dye will be left on the transfer paper, so there won’t be tar pollution on a sublimation printed clothes.

5. Low defect rate: as long as the blueprint is correct, the sublimation printing will come out correct in one time no matter how complicated the design is.
