Sublimation Printing
Sublimation is a type of dye print that is widely used on apparels these days. A sublimation t –shirt will be more colorful and graphic rich than t-shirts created with other techniques.
One of the reasons why this printing technique has risen to prominence in recent times in the textiles industry is because of its benefits. Sublimated apparels, unlike other print wears, are of much higher quality and easily breathable. The graphics on these t-shirts don’t form a layer on but instead gets absorbs into the fabric. For this reason, it has become very popular in the fitness and sports clothing niche.

- Heat Transfer : The design is not infused but lays on top of the material, producing a plastic feel. Hence, it’s less durable because it can wear away with repeated washes.

- Heat Transfer : Able to be printed on other materials (polyester, cotton etc) of other colours.
