What is sublimation printing?

Sublimation is a printing technique particularly suitable for sports textiles, as it is reserved for products made from 100% white polyester.

Integrated into the fiber, your visual will have an ideal rendering, with vibrant colors, and will not tarnish when washing, even at high temperature.

What is it used for?

  • For all types of patterns as long as the textile is in white polyester.
  • Rather for small and medium series; possibly large series if the printed visual is very colorful.

Advantages

  • Perfectly faithful rendering and vibrant colors
  • Very long service life, excellent washing resistance, even at high temperature
  • Rather low cost and tariff reduction depending on the quantity ordered

Disadvantages

  • The textile must be 100% white polyester
  • When printing, the heat press may leave a slight impression of "smoothness" on the printing surface, which will fade as the washings go on.
