What is dye sublimation printing?

     Today you can find quite numerous applications on fabric/cloth by dye sublimation printing.Do you know what dye sublimation printing is and how it's performed.This article will tell you some information.We have to make it clear that this kind of printing is a great invention,not only in  making some seriously beautiful printing,but also improving the quality of clothing and giving much added value.
heat transfer printing
    The dye ink is working with a digital printer which prints the image in reverse on a dye sublimation transfer paper. When printed, this paper is matched up to a piece or roll of polyester material (like cotton and linen won't function with this print technique), and fed gradually through a set of heated rollers at about 400°F. The stress combines with all the heat to turn the dye into a gas, while simultaneously opening the pores of your cells with the fabric, therefore infusing the dye in to the open pores.As the fabric cools, the porous cells close, trapping the dyed colors in to the cellular structure of your fabric.One more feature of this sort of printing is the fact that mainly because the dye turns gaseous, it creates a continuous tone print in comparison to other kinds of "dots per inch" printing.That is why dye sub printed materials are resistant to fading when compared with other forms of printing.

    Nowadays,it is used widely in textiles,apparel,garment industry,but it is also applied in some decorated goods,such as skateboard ,mouse pad,phone case etc.To the full application use, you can read in my previous blogger.The great difference from traditional dying is that during sublimation printing,it shows high durability of color and washing-ability.The top quality on the print also shows in the advertising industry,like banner,flag etc.
