How sublimation works
Sublimation printing uses heat to transfer specialist dye into suitable polyester-rich fabric. Colour can become part of the fibre, making the method suitable for full-colour artwork, gradients and designs that extend across garment panels. Results depend on the fabric, artwork, colour and production method.
Choosing between printing methods
Screen printing can suit particular artwork and fabric types, while embroidery is often used for smaller logos or text with a dimensional finish. Sublimation is often chosen for larger full-colour designs. The right method depends on the garment, artwork, intended use and production requirements.
Before placing an enquiry
Prepare artwork, size ranges, intended use and quantity, then confirm fabric, sampling, quotation and delivery arrangements with the supplier. Final production conditions should follow the written quotation and approved order details.
