Art is printed with special sublimation ink on treated paper. Then the paper is placed onto the garment in the requested
location. Using a heat press, the heat and pressure cause the ink to change into a gas which then absorb into the fibers of
the garment. After that the paper is removed and the garment is complete.
Sublimation is a white polyester process. The vaporized ink (gas) cannot apply nicely to other fabric materials. Blended
garmetns are possible but the imprint will appear much more faded on the cotton parts of the blend compared to the
polyester parts.
Since sublimation cannot be used with underbases a white garment is HIGHLY reccomended. Think of it as a blank
canvas for painting. If we apply sublimation to colored garments, what should be white becomes the color of the
garment, and the entire imprint takes on the hue of the garment color.
Q: What are press marks?A: Due to the amount of heat and pressure
necessary for the process, a outline from the
paper can sometime be seen around the artwork.
Q: Does the sublimation come out in a wash?A: Sublimation effectively perma-dyes the fabric
of the garment. Nothing, not even bleach, can
remove the imprint from the garment.
Q: What shirts are recommended?A: Any 100% Polyester White material, we can go
as low as 50% poly but the imprint will appear
faded.
Q: Do you do all over prints?A: We used to, but that has since been removed
due to the market trending towards cut and sew
sublimation.
