Dye sublimation transfer printing---Overwhelming print technology

As with any process that's worth its salt, there are always options that make it even more confusing to understand! Dye sublimation, already being a subject that many are still learning about, can feel even more overwhelming when you're given different ways to order your printed products.

​Let's begin with sublimation transfer process, which is what my company specialized in. A sublimation printer, such as the Mimaki JV33, is used to print a reverse image of the desired graphics onto a coated, heat-resistant transfer paper using the water-based sublimation ink. This printed paper is then loaded onto a calendar heat press (such as this Monti Antonio) along with your desired choice of polyester fabric. The paper and the fabric go through the heat press together, and in the heat the printed graphics are transferred into the fibers of the fabric. This finishes your dyed custom fabric, which can then be sewn into whatever its final shape will be. The biggest pro for this method is that the color is extremely color-fast and durable for a lifetime of washing.
To marry the ink and fabric, the individual panels of fabric are carefully laid out on the printed sheets and loaded into transfer presses. Here, immense pressure and heat turns the ink into a gas, which is then transferred directly to the fabric. The fabric then emerges from the press fully sublimated and ready for assembly.
