Wide format dye sublimation printing high cost?

Literally, bigger ideas may lead decorators to move towards large-format, roll-to-roll sublimation. This process has its advantages, but it also needs to clarify some misunderstandings.

This will also encourage the development of new markets so that decorators can use this form of sublimation.

Large format sublimation requires a lot of costs:

If we hear the term "large scale", we think of hundreds of thousands of dollars spent, huge inventory warehouses and other major issues.

Fortunately, that is not reality. The price of the 44-inch sublimation printer system is between $4,000 and $7,000, which is not out of reach for many decorators. Large heat presses can also be associated with other costs. Although not suitable for all large format printing.

For example, if you want to make not only clothing, but also household products such as shower rooms, sheets, pillowcases and similar items, you need a printer that can print at least 64-72 inches wide.

You also need a heat press calender (sometimes called a drum press or a rotary press) that can accommodate the requirements of 64 inches to 72 inches. This bottom-line investment jumped to between $6,000-8,000.
