Sublimation

Sublimation printing is a process that involves transferring a design onto a substrate, such as fabric or ceramics, using heat and pressure. The design is printed onto a special paper using sublimation ink, which then turns into a gas when exposed to heat and pressure. This gas is then absorbed into the substrate, resulting in a permanent and vivid print. Sublimation printing offers several advantages over other printing methods, including the ability to produce high-quality, full-color prints with excellent detail, even on dark or colored materials. It is also a cost-effective option for small-scale and on-demand printing jobs. However, sublimation printing is limited to materials that are compatible with the sublimation ink, such as polyester and other synthetic materials, and it may not be suitable for some types of designs or substrates.

Sublimation printing is commonly used to create custom designs on a wide range of products. Some popular items for sublimation printing include:

1. Apparel: T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, socks, and other clothing items made from polyester or poly-blend materials are popular choices for sublimation printing.

2. Drinkware: Mugs, tumblers, water bottles, and other drinkware items made from ceramic or coated metal can be sublimated with custom designs.

3. Phone cases: Custom phone cases for a variety of devices, including iPhones and Android phones, can be sublimated with personalized designs.

4. Home decor: Customized pillows, blankets, and towels are also popular for sublimation printing.

5. Bags: Tote bags, backpacks, and other bags made from polyester or poly-blend materials can be sublimated with custom designs.

6. Signage: Customized signs and banners made from polyester materials are also popular for sublimation printing.

Overall, sublimation printing offers a lot of options for customizing a wide range of products.
