Sublimation printing is a digital printing technology that uses heat to transfer dye onto materials such as fabric, metal, plastic, and ceramics. The sublimation process involves four main steps:
The first step is to create a digital image or design using a computer graphics software program.
The image is then printed onto a special paper called sublimation paper using a sublimation printer. The printer uses heat and pressure to transfer the ink from the paper to the material.
The printed material is then placed in a heat press. The heat press applies heat and pressure to the material, causing the dye to vaporize (sublimate) and penetrate the material's表é¢.
Once the dye has sublimated, the heat press is released and the material is allowed to cool. As it cools, the dye solidifies and bonds with the material.
Sublimation printing produces vibrant, full-color images that are resistant to fading, cracking, and peeling. It is a versatile printing technology that can be used to create custom products such as clothing, mugs, license plates, and much more.
