Full-Color Image Transfer

Unlike traditional screen printing or vinyl heat transfer, you are not limited by the number of colors being printed on a product. Sublimation is perfect when transferring images without losing the original image resolution.

Durability

Sublimation is best when durability is needed. During the sublimation process, ink is embedded into the fibers of the fabric allowing the image to last much longer than traditional printing methods.

Easy Skill to Learn

The entry-level to learning sublimation printing is a relatively low learning curve when compared to screen printing.

Cost Effective

Sublimation printing is extremely cost-effective. The cost of printing one item is the same as printing 1000 items. This allows decorators to offer low quantity orders.

Another cost-effective advantage of digital sublimation printing is that there are no high-cost setup fees to create screens; like those used in screen printing.

Same Day Turnaround Time

Sublimation is quick and easy to produce, allowing decorators or small business owners to have orders completed within a day reducing risk and waste.

As with all decoration methods, there are disadvantages. Let’s take a look at a few disadvantages of sublimation printing.

• 100% polyester fabric or products covered with polyester are needed.
• Light-colored or white garments are best when sublimating. Sublimating on darker colors may dilute the original image colors.
• Sublimation inks are relatively expensive.
