What Is Sublimation Printing?
Sublimation printing, also called dye-sublimation printing, is a process where heat and pressure convert solid dye directly into gas. The gas then penetrates and bonds with the fibers of a polyester substrate or a specially coated surface. As the material cools, the dye becomes a permanent part of the product.
Unlike vinyl or screen printing, sublimation ink does not sit on top of the fabric. Instead, it becomes part of the material itself, creating a soft, smooth finish that won’t crack, peel, or fade easily.
How Does Sublimation Printing Work?
The sublimation process is simple and efficient:
- Create your design using graphic software.
- Print the design onto Kongkim sublimation paper using Kongkim sublimation ink.
- Place the printed paper onto polyester fabric or a coated product.
- Apply heat and pressure with a Kongkim heat press machine.
- The ink turns into gas and permanently bonds with the material, producing a vibrant, high-resolution image.
