What is the difference between dye-sublimation and thermal transfers?
Dye-sublimation produces a transfer that becomes a part of the surface of the material to which it is being applied. The colors are vibrant. Dye-Sublimation mugs are dishwasher safe (they do not fade). Thermal transfers (Hottee) are photo output and they sit on top of the fabric (although the bond is extremely durable and color fast). Hottee transfers are faster to create and apply and the supplies are less expensive. Hottee transfers are ideal for applying to 50/50 blend and 100% cotton T-shirts.
