FAQs
What is sublimation printing?
Sublimation printing is a process that uses heat and pressure to transfer ink onto a variety of items like clothing, mugs, and phone cases. This ink becomes a part of the item, creating vibrant, long-lasting designs.
What products can I sublimate on?
Sublimation works on a wide range of products, including polyester clothing, ceramic mugs, metal sheets, phone cases, and more. Check our catalog for a complete list.
How do I get started with sublimation printing?
To get started, you'll need a sublimation printer, sublimation ink, heat press, and sublimation paper. We offer all these supplies on our website.
What type of ink is used in sublimation printing?
Sublimation ink is specially formulated for this process. It becomes a gas under heat and bonds with the polyester or polymer coating on substrates.
Can I use regular cotton garments for sublimation?
No, sublimation works best on polyester or polymer-coated items. The ink won't bond with natural fibers like cotton.
Is sublimation printing environmentally friendly?
Sublimation is considered eco-friendly because it produces minimal waste, and the inks are water-based with no harmful solvents.
What is the difference between sublimation and other printing methods like screen printing or vinyl heat transfer?
Sublimation offers full-colour, high-quality prints with no noticeable texture on the surface, making it ideal for complex designs. Screen printing and vinyl transfer have limitations in terms of colours and texture.
