How does sublimation work?
Dye sublimation reproduces colour images, logos, wording or graphics to be printed and then heat transferred onto metal disks or plates.
Instead of extracting material from a material, like many other forms of engraving, this process prints onto a metal plate. The images are transferred onto products using specific types of heat presses at high temperatures.
Sublimation step by step
- A graphic, logo or wording is designed using professional graphics software. Photo quality images and any vector-based graphics and text can be used.
- The image is printed using specialty sublimation inks.
- The product to be printed onto is prepared.
- The sublimation print and product are paced under a heat press. Each product type has its own formula for time, temperature and pressure for optimal decorating.
- After the time expires, the product is lifted out, the transfer is removed, and we admire the finished image.
