Sublimation Printing

As well as embroidery we now offer sublimation printing. Sublimation ink a special type of ink, that under heat and pressure, transforms from the solid state on paper to a gaseous state immediately and bonds with any polymers that are present in the final product to give a permanent image. The final products, called substrates, must have a high percentage of polyester to them otherwise the sublimation cannot bond permanently.

Sublimation printing can be used to print onto all sorts of products from Mugs (the image appears to be inside the glaze of the mug and is impossible to feel), to T-shirts (the image bonds with the polyester content of the T-shirt and can be washed, ironed, stretched), mousemats, jigsaw puzzles etc. etc.
