WHAT IS SUBLIMATION PRINTING?
What is Sublimation Printing?
Sublimation Printed Clothing is a specialised process whereby an image or pattern actually becomes part of the garment itself. The end result is a really high-quality photographic finish design with extraordinarily brilliant colours. The design can also be printed over the entire item, with printing capable all the way to the seams.
Can I know more about Sublimation printing process?
The Sublimation printing process is created by specialist machines that take the pattern and use a combination of pressure and high temperatures that transfer the image and make it part of the fabric. The material starts out white and then the image is added. If the image only takes up a portion of the design then the rest is sublimated with a solid colour to match or complement the rest of the garment.
Will the pattern wash out?
As the sublimation image is part of the garment itself, it will not crack or peel off and will last longer than printed garments. Like any other apparel item, over time and after many washes, the colour may change very slightly or fade depending on care.
