What is Sublimation or Direct to Fabric printing.

Sublimation printing is a digital printing method that uses heat to transfer an image onto fabric, while other printing methods include screen printing and traditional offset printing: 

  • Sublimation printing: A chemical process that uses heat-activated dyes to create a vibrant, detailed image on fabric. The process involves printing a design onto transfer paper, then placing the paper and fabric under a heat press. The ink becomes part of the fabric’s structure, so the image won’t fade or crack. Sublimation printing is often used for apparel, signs, and banners. Synthetic fabrics like polyester, nylon, and spandex work best for sublimation printing.

Here are some advantages of sublimation printing:

  • Quick and simple: Sublimation printing is faster than other printing methods. 
  • Great for personalisation: Sublimation printing is ideal for customising prints. 
  • Reproducible: Once a design is created, it can be reproduced on demand. 
  • Durability
    Sublimation prints are long-lasting and won’t fade or peel over time. The ink is infused into the material, creating a permanent bond. 
  • Vibrant colours
    Sublimation printing produces high-quality, vibrant colours that won’t fade or peel. 
  • Customisation
    Sublimation printing allows for full customisation of designs, including intricate details. 
  • Eco-friendly
    Sublimation printing is an eco-friendly process because the ink is water-based and doesn’t create transfer paper waste. 
  • Versatility
    Sublimation printing can be used on a variety of products, including apparel, hard goods, flags, and display fabrics. 
  • Cost-effective
    Sublimation printing can be cost-effective for large batches because the printer can replicate the design multiple times with consistent quality. 
  • Low minimums
    Once the image is set up, it can be reprinted for high production quantities or for just one-time use.
