Is Sublimation For you ?

Sublimation is the process or heat pressing sublimation ink into fabrics made out of polyester to dye the polyester fabric itself and thus make a garment that lasts a lifetime due to the ink being pressed and dying the fabric itself.

However this form is only available on light coloured polyester garments and is best on white !

Unfortunately, i only have a printing area of A4 size sheets, and can not have sublimations full potential as most football shirts and other sports brand garments are done by sublimation to acquire the specific patterns for Jerseys etc.

A4 does allow me to do bigger designs especially if the design contains small separate pieces, however i am still able to customise accessories such as cups, mouse pads, phone cases and etc !

Sublimation Ink

Special Printers and inks are needed to print ink on a special paper that allows the ink to transfer onto polyester in high heat. Though it seems simple, patience and skill is still required as moving too fast can cause ghosting, where the dye might bleed into other areas of the T-shirt if not cooled down enough !
Alongside this, ICC profiles need to be perfect to make sure the transfer onto polyester matches exactly as show on the computer screen, not lighter or darker, so so skill is needed in that department.
