Frequently Asked Questions
1. How Does Full Print Sublimation Work?
Sublimation ink, when heated, turns into a gas and permeates the fabric’s fibers, creating a permanent, full-color print that won’t crack, fade, or wash out.
2. What Materials Can be Sublimated?
Sublimation is not limited to just fabrics. It can be done on polyester-based materials, ceramics, metals, and even certain plastics, expanding the possibilities for creative expression.
3. Is Sublimation Environmentally Friendly?
Yes, sublimation is an eco-friendly option as it produces minimal waste and doesn’t involve the use of harmful chemicals commonly found in traditional printing methods.
4. How Durable Are Sublimated Prints?
Sublimated prints are highly durable, as the ink becomes a part of the fabric rather than sitting on top. With proper care, sublimated items can retain their vibrant colors and sharpness for a long time.
5. Can Sublimation Prints be Customized?
Absolutely! Full print sublimation allows for complete customization. Whether you want to print a single unique item or a bulk order with different designs, sublimation offers flexibility and precision.
6. What’s the Maintenance Like for Sublimated Products?
Sublimated products are easy to maintain. They can be machine-washed without losing the quality of the print. However, it’s advisable to follow specific care instructions to ensure longevity.
7. Is Sublimation Limited to Apparel?
While sublimated clothing is popular, this technique is versatile. It's used in creating personalized gifts, promotional items, sportswear, and even home décor items like curtains and pillowcases.
