Custom Dye Sublimation Transfers

What is Dye Sublimation?

For those who are unfamiliar with the process of dye sublimation, in short:

Sublimation ink can convert from a solid to a gas without going through the liquid form, which allows you to apply an image to specially coated polyester materials using heat and pressure.

So, if you’re using a dye sublimation transfer on a garment, the ink actually goes into the fibers! Cool, huh? You don’t get that regular htv feel, since the ink is not on the garment, but in it. You don’t even need to WEED ANYTHING! It’s an easy-to-use process! There are other factors to consider before getting into the process of dye sublimation. For example:

• You need to have 100% white polyester for the best outcome
• Lightly colored garments work as well, but colors of the ink are not as sharp
• You must have a dye sublimation printer

We could ramble on telling you all the details, but to keep this short and simple, please refer to an older blog explaining all you need to know about dye sublimation: What is Dye Sublimation

We also have a great short video on dye sublimation (with a tutorial part too)!
