Dye-sublimation (also known as sublimation printing) is a form of heat transfer printing and is quite similar to digital heat transfer since it also relies on ink and heat to transfer the designs. 

Since the design adheres to the substrate’s fiber on a molecular level, the result is a permanent high-quality print that will never peel or crack.

The transferred design leaves no additional layer on your garment, so the decorated area has no different feelings to the touch than the rest of the garment. This printing method produces incredibly durable print which will last as long as the fabric itself under normal condition.

Dye-sublimation printing is used to decorate polyester materials, and can also work on a wide range of hard surfaces like puzzles, mugs, jewelry, custom water bottle, and many more.
