Sublimation Printing on Polyester T-Shirt by Home Inkjet Printer Prints Sublimation Ink Then Heat Press
So, you are interested in entering the beautiful world of T-shirt making-that sounds exciting! The is no better way of decorating your T-shirt than using the sublimation printing method.
The sublimation printing procedure is a well-known technique that is used to produce printed or customized t-shirts. This process gives your t-shirts a professional look for a small price.
When made hot, sublimation ink changes from a solid state into a gaseous state, that fixes itself onto the polyester t-shirt. It returns to a solid state and becomes a permanently attached to the fabric as soon as it cools down. This indicates that the artwork that is being conveyed does not add another layer on top, meaning that there is now uniformity throughout the entire fabric. It has simply become one. This also means that the transmission is permanent, therefore the design created will last for the longest time.
The sublimation printing process operates effectively with material such as polyester and this is the reason why the finest t-shirts are 100% polyester comprised. The higher the ratio of the polyester of the t-shirt, the livelier and more long-lasting the colours will be.
