Question

What is dye sublimation printing?

Answer

Dye sublimation uses heat to turn solid dye into a gas that bonds directly into polyester fabric or a specially coated surface. The dye becomes part of the material rather than sitting on top of it.

  • Permanent color: the image will not crack, peel, or wash out.
  • Edge to edge: full-bleed, all-over prints are easy.
  • Vivid and photographic: handles gradients and rich color well.
  • Substrate needs: works on polyester or poly-coated materials.
  • Common uses: apparel, flags, and table covers.
