Dye Sublimation is a relatively new printing technique that allows us

     to print full color images on a wide array of items such as t-shirts, flags

     mouse pads, and even ceramic tiles. Well how does it work? Solid dye

     particles are converted into a gas using heat and pressure then are

     forced to bond with the material they are dyeing and converted back to a

     solid.

  

     HOW DOES THIS DIFFER FROM SCREEN PRINTING?

     

            First off with Dye Sublimation the dye is actually absorbed into the

     material as opposed to ink sitting on top of the material as with screen

     printing. Because of this only light colored shirts can be used to Dye

     Sublimate. Think of it like this, if you add green dye to black paint you

     will still have black paint. The second major difference between the two

     methods is Dye Sublimation must be done on material that contains at

     least 50% polyester. The higher the polyester content the more vivid the

     images. The third and final major difference is the ability to print not in

     four or six color as with screen printing, but FULL COLOR. Imagine the

     possibilities of being able to print full color photo quality images onto

     t-shirts. And with no screens means NO SCREEN CHARGES and NO

     MINIMUM!!
