What is Sublimation Printing?
Many people ask about sublimation that “What is actually a sublimation printing and why we have to choose to sublimate our jerseys except screenprint” or “What’s sublimation and how it occurs to our fabric? Sublimation is the process in which we transfer the design into a fabric using heat and pressure. Before placing the design on the fabric firstly, we apply the images and graphics are printed on special paper placed on the fabric where we have to apply the design and then apply a huge amount of heat and pressure, which allows the ink on the paper to become the part of the fabric. This will give you a more amount of breathable, soft-hand, and free-to-ink feel to the fabric. The best part of sublimated jerseys is that the numbers, letters, and graphics present on jerseys do not peel, wear off, or come out in the wash. These sublimated jerseys are more durable than other ordinary jerseys.

Naturally, the magic of the sublimation lies in the printing latest techniques. When the designs or graphics are infused directly from the paper onto the fabric, they become part of that fabric easily. All of the designed elements which you want to apply on jerseys including the team logo, colors, and numbers became a part of the fabric in sublimation easily as opposed to other processes like embroidery, where they’re “sewn” onto the surface and the screen printing which left the ink on the body when you wear that jerseys. So, there’s no chance for the colors or logos, numbers, or any other embellishments to peel off or fade in sublimated jerseys! Besides the process, the high temperature (heat) and pressures that are used in the sublimation process convert the embellishments into the gas molecules which mix firmly and strongly with the molecules of the fabric, fully integrating and dispatched with them. Totally inseparable, and inflatable.
