What Should Be Considered When Using Dye Sublimation for Printing T-shirts?

sublimation printing
Dye sublimation is a popular t-shirt printing technique. It’s an easy and economical way to print any content, including images, text or artwork on t-shirts. Additionally, you can print a variety of colors, such as light and dark, without worrying about the color bleeding.

This is because dye sublimation printing utilizes a heat-sensitive dye for printing images or graphics onto a special transfer paper. The transfer paper is then spread over the t-shirt and then both the items are placed inside a heat press. In order to get the print right, it’s important to use high temperature and pressure. This helps transfer the graphic over the garment accurately.

Coupled with the temperature and pressure, there are several other factors to consider when using dye sublimation for printing t-shirts:

1. Image

First and foremost, use a high resolution image. If you’re using a small image, it may appear blurry or pixilated. Getting the pixels right is absolutely critical. Check the image resolution before finalizing the images.

2. Fiber content

The type of fabric used in the dye sublimation process can make a significant difference to the final product. Polyester is the best fabric for dye sublimation printing. Natural fabrics, such as cotton simply cannot withstand the heat in the process.

You can use either a 100% polyester fabric or a polyester blend fabric (at least 60%). Polyester works well because of its cellular construction. What cellular construction means is that the fabric’s cellular pores open due to heat and close as the fabric cools down.

3. Image and fabric color

Generally speaking, white t-shirts are the easiest to sublimate. When it comes to the color of an image, make sure it isn’t hazy. Edit the image before sublimating it. Use a color correction software to ensure correct image consistency and tone.

With dye sublimation, the printed image on a t-shirt will last long. Unlike other printing techniques, the sublimated image can survive normal wear and tear.  It will not peel off, crack or fade.

Do You Know The Difference Between The Sublimation Paper And Heat Transfer Paper?

  Hi, Nice to see you. How are you these days ? Long time no talking about the sublimation paper. If you have read about my article before you must know that we are professional in sublimation printing and transferring, also have have the sublimation paper manufacturer. Then with so many experience today I will solve a common problem of all of you and help you know more about sublimation. That is the difference introduce about the sublimation paper and heat transfer paper.   The main reason why people can't distinguish the sublimation paper and heat transfer paper is that they can all be used for patterns transfer onto the fabric and textile.The main difference is how the image physically gets to the substrate in the actual transfer process. This means there are also differences in the items that may be decorated with either process. In order to let you have a deep understanding about them I will have a detailed introduce in the next article. Then read the following and get

Which is The Right Printing Side of The Sublimation Paper and How to Distinguish it?

  Hi, Nice to see you again.In your daily lives of using sublimation transfer paper you must face a serious problem. That is which is the right printing side of the sublimation transfer paper and how to distinguish the right side. Because if you can't  print you patterns in the right side your patterns may always getting bad and the color of the ink or pictures may be a lot problems.Today I will share you some ideas about how to distinguish it and hope this article can be useful to you.   Sublimation paper is one type of coated paper, and most of the sublimation transfer paper comes with right and wrong side for printing.if you print on wrong side, the transfer will not have best color,will  result in a poor transfer which looks mottled and washed out, and you'll have to do it again. So dye sublimation paper can only be printed on one side (which is the release side).   Then,let's have a talk about how to distinguish the right printing side.First of all, let'

What’s the Difference Between Sticky Sublimation Transfer Paper And Sublimation Paper?

图片
For sublimation transfer paper , we generally divide it into 2 types: the fast dry sublimation paper and the sticky sublimation paper. But most people just know the fast dry sublimation paper, because the applications of sticky paper is limited. But sometimes, sticky paper is also important. Tacky sublimation paper is one type of sublimation paper with a tackified coating. The tackified coating will be activated by heat. After the tackified coating is activated, it will adhere to the textile very firmly, so after the transfer is finished and when you lift the press up, the paper will still firmly adhere to the textile, it prevents the paper and textile from moving, the ghosting will not occur. The tacky paper is mostly used in stretch material such as lycra, the stretch material has a elastic, it is much easier moving during the transfer. But even though you are using the stretch material , doesn’t mean you still need to us tacky sublimation paper, that depends on the heat pres
