Product type
Sublimation digital printing is a technique used to transfer dye onto materials, primarily textiles, through a process that involves heat and pressure. This method uses special sublimation inks that turn into gas when heated, allowing them to penetrate the fibers of the fabric. The result is vibrant, long-lasting prints that are resistant to fading and cracking.
| Compatible materials | Polyester and polyester-coated substrates |
| Print resolution | Typically ranges from 300 to 1200 DPI |
| Ink type | Dye-sublimation inks |
| Heat press temperature | Typically between 350┬░F to 400┬░F |
| Transfer time | Usually between 30 to 60 seconds |
When choosing sublimation digital printing services, consider the type of fabric you intend to use, as this method works best with polyester or polyester-coated materials. Specify the desired print resolution, color vibrancy, and any specific design requirements. It's also important to discuss quantities to ensure that you receive the best pricing and turnaround times for your project.
