HOW DYE-SUBLIMATION WORKS

Dye Sublimation is the process by which water based dyes or inks are digitally printed onto a transfer paper, and then transferred onto a substrate. In our case high polyester content textiles.

Sublimation simply means a change from a solid to gaseous state and back to a solid without becoming a liquid.

Meaning the dye particles migrate from the transfer paper as a gas, to bond with the textile and become a solid again.

The transfer is affected using high heat (205 C) and a pressure of (600 psi) guaranteeing that the image penetrates and becomes part of the textile.
