Wide Format Dye Sublimation Printing is a digital printing technology that sublimates dye ink from solid to gas by heating, and penetrates into polyester materials or objects with coatings on the surface to form permanent, high-quality patterns.

Process

Pattern design: Design the pattern through computer software.

Transfer printing: Use thermal sublimation ink to print on thermal sublimation transfer paper.

Hot press transfer: Attach the transfer paper to polyester fabric or coated object. Besides, press it at high temperature (180-200°C) for 30-60 seconds.

Finished product presentation: The dye penetrates into the material fiber, the pattern and the material are integrated, the color is bright, and it is not easy to fade.

Applicable materials

Polyester fabrics (polyester): such as sportswear, yoga clothes, fashion fabrics, T-shirts, aprons, etc.

Objects coated with thermal sublimation coating: such as mugs, aluminum plates, mouse pads, key chains, tiles, etc.

Soft labels: such as flags, hanging cloths, cushions, scarves, curtains, etc.

Note: Sublimation is not suitable for pure cotton or dark cotton fabrics because the dye cannot penetrate the cotton fibers.

Advantages

Vivid colors and distinct layers: can show subtle color differences between adjacent colors.

Durable: the printed images are waterproof, UV-resistant, and fingerprint-resistant.

Suitable for a variety of materials: images or designs can be printed directly on various materials such as textiles, plastics, metals, and wood.

Suitable for personalized customization: fast small-batch production, suitable for personalized T-shirts, souvenirs, advertising gifts, etc.

Limitations

High cost: special equipment and consumables are required.

Slow printing speed: The whole process is relatively slow because multiple prints are required to complete the transfer of different colors.

Restrictions on materials: dye sublimation textile printer usually requires specific printing media, such as polyester fibers or items with special coatings on the surface.
