What is SUBLIMATION?

The sublimation technology is a strong tool to introduce custom designs on jerseys. This is because the printing performance does not require large quantity conditions as what is happening now for custom made t - shirts. Moreover the current way of producing designs need to cater with what current manufacturers can produce and not maximizing design added value. To add to the advantage of having a sublimation technology and being a trend setter, a jersey or t-shirt can be produce specifically and can be designed, printed, cut, sewn, labeled, packed and deliver on the same day.

A dye-sublimation printer (or dye-sub printer) is a computer printer which employs a printing process that uses heat to transfer dye to a medium such as a plastic card, printer paper, poster paper, or fabric. The process is usually to lay one color at a time using a ribbon that has color panels. Most dye-sublimation printers use CMYO colors which differs from the more recognized CMYK colors in that the black dye is eliminated in favour of a clear overcoating. This overcoating (which has numerous names depending on the manufacturer) is effectively a thin laminate which protects the print from discoloration from UV light and the air while also rendering the print water-resistant. Many consumer and professional dye-sublimation printers are designed and used for producing photographic prints
