Full Dye Sublimation

If you are a custom garment designer who makes all over print tees or if you would like to become one, have you considered full dye sublimation prints?  Dye sublimation is a method of printing that has been adapted for use on fabrics.  It differs from screen printing in many ways, but the biggest difference is how the print is rendered.  In screen printing, colored inks are applied to the surface of the fabric in the shape of the intended design.  Each color is applied separately until the entire design is completed.  Full dye sublimation works much like other heat transfer methods but it is more sophisticated.

Full Dye Sublimation

The sublimation process starts out with the artwork in digital format.  Using a sublimation printer, the image gets printed out onto a sheet of heat resistant paper with special dye cartridges.  The printed out artwork is lined up onto the blank garment and then put into a sublimation press for a brief time.  During the time in the press, the dye on the sheet receives high heat and pressure which causes it to be released as a vapor.  The material below will absorb the dye into the very fibers and lock the print in permanently.  So unlike screen printing, the print is actually contained ‘inside’ the fabric of the garment and not on the surface.

Full dye sublimation is guaranteed to last a very long time and it won’t crack or peel either.  Since the print isn’t on the fabric, but rather inside it, you won’t be able to feel the print, only the fabric of your garment!  There’s a lot to love about dye sublimation, so if you are interested in creating some of your own, come check us out at AMBRO Manufacturing today.  You can contact us to place an order, or to find out more about us, by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.
