What Is Sublimation Printing?
Sublimation printing is a popular way of printing high-quality images on a range of fabrics and items. It delivers an image print that is as clear as the source file, with little to no resolution loss. Items that are printed in this way can sustain their quality for many years. Sublimation printing is also referred to as ‘all-over printing’, because it has the ability to print a design that literally goes from seam to seam.
How Does
Sublimation Printing Work?
What is sublimation printing?
The process involves using a digital printer to replicate images onto sublimation transfer paper using sublimation ink. Once the design has been printed onto this special paper, it is then placed into a heat press with the materials.
Next, it is exposed to extreme temperatures, usually between 350-400 degrees Fahrenheit.
It is at this point the transfer material and ink transform from their solid state into gas. Once they are in this state, they will then permeate the fibers of the material.
The heat will then be removed from the substrate and transfer paper, with the ink that has permeated the fibers being solidified and permanently locked into place.
The heat releases the gas from the sublimation ink and opens the pores of the materials that the image is being transferred into. Once both the heat and the pressure have been released, the ink reverts to its solid state and the pores of the fabric close, leaving the ink trapped inside.
In a nutshell, the heat is used to bring the fabric and the ink together as one.
