Sublimation Printer

Sublimation is a method for permanently transferring vibrant, full-color designs onto synthetic materials like polyester fabric or polymer-coated surfaces using a special sublimation printer, ink, paper, and a heat press. The design is printed on paper, then heated and pressed onto the material, where the ink turns into a gas and fuses into the surface, creating a durable, long-lasting image that won't peel, crack, or fade.
