What is Sublimation?
Dye sublimation is a digital heat transfer process that transfers an image to a polyester garment or polyester coated substrate permanently. When
heated to a high temperature, sublimation ink turns into a gas, allowing it to enter into the open pores of the polyester-coated item or polyester
garment. Once the transfer paper is removed, the pores of the item cool and close up, trapping the ink (and image) inside the surface of the item.
The sublimated image is a permanent application and will take on the texture and base color of the substrate.
This process works only on white or very light garments and substrates. Cotton fabric or items that have not been specifically coated for this process
are not compatible with sublimation. All of our sublimation blanks have been factory coated with sublimation polyester coating formulated specifically
for this type of transfer process.
