Sublimation Paper

Dye sublimation printing will give you the longest lasting color in your fabric of any type of printing available on fabric. The best national flags are made of polyester because they are color fast and wind resistant. The best printing method on clothing is sublimation transfer printing because there is no ink buildup that will prevent wicking of moisture away from the body. On fabric graphic displays, or art reproductions that are used indoors, the colors are guaranteed to last for 30 years or longer because they are encased in the sealed polymer cells. Another benefit of dye sub printed polyester fabric banners or displays or clothing is that you can wash them for years and not lose any color. I have a shirt that is a dye sublimation floral “Hawaiian-style” print that gets hung out to dry in the sun, and after several years it has not faded at all, unlike my cotton print shirts. Finally, although there are other benefits I could point to as well, the last benefit is the ri...

When considering sportswear, it reminds us team jerseys in the first place, yet in fact, wide product-market scope is available: team jerseys, shorts, dancewear, gymnastic wear, swimwear, speed skating apparel, skateboards and even including accessories such as gloves, hats -the list goes on and on, now more and more sportswear printed by dye sublimation paper. Sublimation transfer printing onto fabric allows you to bring your logos, visuals, designs and patterns to life however you like- be it vibrant colors, degrade colors or fluorescence colors. What’s more, no additional cost is required. The main working principle of the sublimation printing is based on transformation of solid ink particles directly into gaseous state. When the heat is removed, the sublimated ink turns back into a solid form leaving the ink embedded into the garment. Thus, it protects the print from discoloration. You can also use whichever color and pattern you prefer, and thereby create your customized spo...

Dye sublimation relies on the use of modern polymer-based synthetic fabrics for the chemical bonding process. When heat and pressure are applied the ink sublimates from the sublimation transfer paper to the fibers of the fabric, creating an inseparable bond that is extremely durable, flexible, UV resistant, impervious to chemicals like chlorine/bleach, and has none of the weaknesses of other methods like screen or vinyl printing. Without a doubt, dye sublimation printing is one of the most effective methods for creating a whole range of customized and personalized products on-demand. This means you can deliver an almost limitless variety of creative and profitable applications, that will enable you to extend your range of services to your existing clients, or indeed open up a spectrum of new markets to you. With inkjet dye sublimation printing, you can print onto a vast range of fabrics and coated surfaces in many widths and lengths, including stretchy sports fabrics and heavy ca...

Sublimation printing is widely used in many areas, there are many benefits of dye sublimation printing on fabric. Today, we are going to introduce several benefits of it. 1. Long lasting printed colors Sublimation printing will give you the longest lasting color in your fabric of any type of printing available on fabric. The best national flags are made of polyester national flagsbecause they are color fast and wind resistant. 2. Best fabric printing method The best printing method on clothing is dye sublimation printing because there is no ink buildup that will prevent wicking of moisture away from the body. On fabric graphic displays, or art reproductions that are used indoors, the colors are guaranteed to last for 30 years or longer because they are encased in the sealed polymer cells. 3. The dyes won't easily fade Another benefit of dye sub printed polyester fabric banners or displays or clothing is that you can wash them for years and not lose any color. 4. C...

Dye sublimation is a simple way to create printed t-shirts, promotional banners, flags, customized coffee mugs and similar items. But, if you are new the sublimation process, you can make mistakes that can ruin your final products. Want to perfect the science of dye sublimation? Here are some crucial mistakes you must avoid: 1. Not using polyester fabric During dye sublimation printing , heat and pressure convert the sublimation ink into a gaseous state. Many materials, such as cotton or wool will not hold the ink during the heating process. Polyester, however, provides the best sublimation transfer onto fabrics. Meanwhile, hard items, such as mugs, coasters, etc., will require polyester coating before they can be sublimated. 2. Incorrect heat press temperature Without sufficient heating, it is impossible to produce successful transfers onto substrates. The heating temperature will vary from one substrate to another. However, most substrates require nearly 400 degrees F. ...

Sublimation printing has become an increasingly popular method for printing high quality images onto various fabrics and items. It is finding such popularity partly because sublimation printing displays absolutely no resolution loss when compared to the original image. The result is an image with the perfect clarity of the source picture. This sort of high quality product holds up to any level of scrutiny, and satisfies even the most meticulously and critically held standards. It is being used more and more as companies and clients both turn toward a preference for environmentally friendly products and environmentally conscious means of production. This gives dye sublimation printing a huge boost in benefits over other traditional means of printing, such as print screening. Sublimation printing uses absolutely no water during the process of dyeing fabrics or other dyeable objects. In fact, sublimation printing ends up producing almost no waste at all. Only a small amount of d...

While you do need at least 60% polyester fabric to successfully dye sublimation print, it is better to use 100% polyester because you will attain a superior print if 100% of the fabric accepts the dye when it enters gas form and is inducted into the open polymer pores. What you may not know is how this process works and why polyester fabric is the best product for sublimation printing , whereas cotton, wool, and even nylon will not work for this type of printing. Starting with the dye, it is necessary to know that the dye is not the same type of ink as inkjet inks which use the CMYK (cyan-magenta-yellow-black) ink set, but instead, use a CMYO dye set (cyan-magenta-yellow-overprint clear) where the clear, when it is printed on the dye sublimation transfer paper, turns to black and transfers that way. Once the paper is printed, it is joined, print side to whichever type of material you are using, then put through a set of heated rollers. The heat must be in excess of 370º F (19...

Dye sublimation printing is one of the best ways a business can use to create professional looking, bright products. However, many people don’t know if dye sublimation printing can be done on plastic items. The answer is “yes.” The high heat the sublimation process uses can cause the plastic to melt or warp, effectively destroying the item. In order to use sublimation printing on a plastic item, it needs to be reinforced, usually with fiberglass. Plastic items that have been formed—in other words, they have a specific three-dimensional shape and design—cannot be printed, even with fiberglass reinforcement. A plastic item would have to be flat, but they can be cut to shape later on once the printing is completed. Keep in mind that not all plastic is made equally. The chemical structure of plastic varies on what its base is. Certain plastics, even with reinforcement, cannot be printed on because of what goes into their production. Anything that is dark in color, or is pre-color...

3. Dye Sublimation Dye sublimation works well on light shirts or fabrics. It cost to produce a dye sub but in the end, the customer ends up with a professional done shirt by experts. To bring out the best results in this method, you need to have deep knowledge in dye sublimation. Dye sublimation printing is perfect for printing polyester like cream fabrics. They are unforgiving when you bring cotton fabric to the scene. You will need a special type of dye which is liquid. The liquid dries up when it meets the polyester fabric. When it has dried well, it solidifies on the fabric, then you can apply heat and pressure for sublimation to take place. When the solid fabric is exposed to heat and pressure it turns into gas. The fabric molecules then expand and the gas sips between the gap that appear in the cloth. In the end, the molecules contracts again when you remove the heat. Dye sublimation is excellent for printing polyester shirts with minimal enduring designs. Shirt done ...
