Sublimation has made a comeback! This extremely unique printing technique is popping up everywhere from athletic wear to the latest fashions. Sublimation differs from all other heat transfer products in that heated gasses are dispensed into the fibers and dye the fabric, instead of sitting on top of the substrate. As a result, sublimation is undetectable to the touch. Sublimation holds excellent detail, and can be done in either spot color or four color process. Great for all over prints, printing off edges, and for use with other heat transfers for a multi-media effect. Works best on 100% polyester, nylon and synthetics. Cotton blends must be tested.
