How are transfer inks different from transfer papers?
Image transfers created with color laser printers/copiers, ink jet printers, or wax ribbon printers utilize a plastic coated sheet to melt toner or ink particles on the surface of a substrate. The result is a decal-like transfer that does not breathe and can peel, crack, or fade over time. SubliJet transfer inks use a chemical process called sublimation to transfer its ink into the surface of a substrate. This results in a tattoo-like transfer that breathes with the fabric, will not peel, crack, or fade, and lasts for many years.
