Allover sublimation printing on garment
Allover sublimation printing in garment decoration is beginning to revolutionize how consumers shop. A garment style can be selected (as a white polyester blank) — along with a pattern or graphic — and a totally custom garment can be created immediately.
More often than not, this likely will be a one-of-kind creation, depending on the number of garment styles and graphics available. This translates to unlimited customer options and smaller, more manageable vendor inventory.
Customization is a major benefit of sublimation printing. And short-run, custom, quick-turn production is not only the future; it's here now.
The process can be broken into four primary areas: signs/banners; hard substrates, such as mugs and phone cases; fashion; and sports apparel.
Dye-sublimation inks are comprised of a disperse dye suspended in liquid, commonly water. The image is printed on coated heat-resistant, tacky transfer paper as a reverse image of the final design. Through heat pressing, the graphic is transferred from the paper onto white polyester fabric.
The term "sublimation transfer" would imply a print being adhered to a garment’s surface, as is the case with plastisol transfers. But these sublimation prints are permanent, as the dye bonds to the polyester on a molecular level. The resulting print will have absolutely no “hand” or feel on the fabric. Also, when repeatedly worn and laundered, sublimation-printed fabric holds its color beautifully.
The obvious difference between large-format and desktop sublimation printing is the maximum output size you can accomplish. A lesser-known difference is the substantial discrepancy in ink costs. While the ink cost for a single coffee mug would be calculated in dollars on a desktop printer, the same coffee mug image on a large-format printer would be calculated in pennies. Remember, just because your printer is capable of 42- or 62-inch print-width capacity, the paper roll can be much smaller.
