Sublimation Printing is a technique that allows for the transfer of designs onto various substrates, such as fabrics and metals, using a specialized printer and heat press. Designs are created digitally, either by the user or obtained from a database, and printed onto sublimation paper using sublimation ink. The paper is then placed onto the substrate and subjected to high heat and pressure, causing the ink to turn into a gas and bond with the substrate. This results in a high-quality, permanent transfer of the design onto the substrate, with vibrant colors and fine details. Sublimation printing is a versatile process that is ideal for creating personalized items, such as clothing, mugs, and phone cases, and can also be used for larger-scale projects, such as banners and flags.
