What is the dye sublimation process and how is it used to make custom photo gifts?
A. The basic dye sublimation process uses a special heat sensitive dye to print graphics and text onto paper. This is called a transfer. The paper is then placed on a specially treated substrate item and both are placed into a heat press.

Run your finger across the surface of a sublimated product and you will feel nothing but see vivid remarkable colors.
