Our specifications
Sublimation printing is an innovative and exciting method for creating custom designs on T-shirts. This technique has gained popularity due to its ability to produce vibrant, long-lasting prints embedded directly into the fabric.
What is Sublimation?
Sublimation is a popular printing method that transfers dye onto fabric, plastic, or paper. This technique involves using heat to convert the dye into a gas without passing through a liquid state. The gas then permeates the fabric, producing a vibrant, long-lasting print that won’t fade, crack, or peel over time.
Importance of Sublimation Printing
Sublimation printing has gained popularity due to its numerous advantages:
Vibrant Colors: Sublimation produces bright, vivid colours that are hard to achieve with other printing methods. The colours are infused into the fabric, creating a high-resolution image that stands out.
Durability: The prints produced by sublimation are incredibly durable. Unlike traditional screen printing, sublimation prints won’t crack, peel, or fade even after multiple washes.
Comfort: Since the dye becomes part of the fabric, sublimation prints do not add any extra layers or textures to the shirt. This guarantees the wearer’s comfort by keeping the fabric breathable and smooth.
Customisation: Sublimation allows for complete customisation, enabling intricate designs, gradients, and a wide range of colours. This makes it perfect for creating unique, personalised t-shirts.
Eco-Friendly: Sublimation is a more environmentally friendly printing method compared to others, as it produces less waste and uses water-based inks.
Why Choose Sublimation for T-Shirts?
When it comes to creating custom t-shirts, sublimation offers several key benefits:
- High-Quality Prints:
The high-resolution prints created through sublimation are sharp and clear, making them ideal for detailed designs and photographs. The colours are vibrant and accurate to the original design, ensuring that your t-shirts look professional and eye-catching.
- Long-Lasting Designs:
Sublimation prints are embedded into the fabric, making them highly resistant to fading and wear. This longevity ensures that your t-shirts will maintain their fresh, new look even after many washes.
- Comfort and Feel:
Sublimation keeps the fabric soft and breathable since the dye is embedded into the material rather than sitting on top of it. This means there’s no risk of the design feeling stiff or heavy, providing maximum comfort to the wearer.
- Flexibility in Design;
Whether you’re looking to create intricate patterns, detailed images, or vibrant gradients, sublimation can handle it all. This flexibility allows for a wide range of creative possibilities, ensuring your t-shirts are unique and tailored to your vision.
