How does sublimation transfer work?
In the printing world, the term sublimation is used to describe heat-activated inks that change into a gas under the application of heat and pressure, and have the ability to bond with polyester or acrylic surfaces. Sublimated images are extremely washable and dry cleanable. Printing with sublimation ink is not new; sublimation transfers have played an important role in the printing world for decades. What is new to the printing world is the ability to digitally print sublimation inks rather that screen-printing them.
