Dye sublimation is changing the way we print in the sign, banner and fabric industry. This modern method of printing allows businesses to expand what they print on, as well as produce higher quality products.
Dye sublimation is a trans-formative method of printing that takes your image and transfers it onto a polyester or polyester coated fabric using thermal heat. Sublimation banner printing creates more durable products because it im-beds the ink directly into the surface fabric. While the traditional methods print an image on a surface leading to more wear and tear.
Dye sublimation printing is becoming a more popular form of printing due to its versatility. Since this method of printing creates more durable images, companies have the ability to use these prints both inside and outside.
This is appealing to businesses that are printing large outdoor banners and advertisements. Dye sublimation also allows more diversity in the shapes, sizes, and textures it can print. If your sublimation machine can print it, you can transfer it onto an object.
Dye sublimation is unique in the sense that it takes a special type of ink, in gas form, and through the heat process transforms it into a solid. Skipping over the liquid phase allows the gases to penetrate the material. This creates a more durable product because it is creating a permanent color bond between the “ink” and the surface being printed on.
As mentioned above, traditional methods of screen printing simply place the image on top of the product. Limiting the bond between the image and surface. Leading to more exposure to the elements, in-turn causing more damage to the final product.
