Dye Sublimation Printing

Most Dye Sublimation Printing projects are done in a cut and sew environment.  This type of environment affords the designer to wrap their design around the entire garment in 360 degrees with complete dye sublimation coverage.

Unlike cut and sew projects, when providing Dye Sublimation Printing on already sewn items, like T-Shirts, Hoodies, Shorts etc ... some creasing will occur when laying the garment flat for printing.  When creasing occurs, blank/white spots will be left on the item.  These blank areas are sections of the garment that did not accept the sublimation inks because they were not exposed to them due to a fold in the fabric.  It is impossible to eliminate this issue when custom dye sublimation printing on pre-sewn items.

One of the major uses of Dye Sublimation Printing is in the launch of a new brand, or the propulsion of an existing one.  A major benefit to this type of printing is that there are no setup charges, the printing time is very quick and the results are so outstanding that it's hard to deny the lure of a fully sublimated garment.  All ages of consumer are attracted to this type of all over t shirt print.

All Over Print Shirts

All Over Print Shirts

You may have seen some pretty cool looking All Over Print Shirts out on the streets.  These shirts usually have graphics in a single color with a faded look going down the side or all over the front of a T-Shirt.  Then multiple colors on top of that.  Sometimes the designs stretch from the neck to the bottom seams.  Sometimes the designs stretch from the sleeve to the sleeve.  Regardless of the design, All Over Print Shirts shirts are impressive.

All Over Print Shirts

There are two printing processes used to create All Over Print Shirts.  The first process is Sublimation Printing.  Sublimation Printing involves the use of specialized dye sublimation inks, polyester fabrics and industrial heat sources.

When using Sublimation Printing for your All Over Print Shirts project, specific requirements need to be met.  Primarily the garment needs to be made from 100% polyester, or a polyester family member, i.e. Rayon, Nylon, Spandex etc ...  The garment must also be white to start.  Then through the use of Sublimation Printing, companies like AMBRO Manufacturing will dye the design work into the fabric itself, creating an All Over Print Shirts look and feel.  Often, Sublimation Printing is done in a cut and sew environment where panels are dye sublimated first and then sewn together into the finished garment, but it is possible to dye sublimate existing garments, primarily t-shirts, even though they are already sewn into a garment.  There are some limitations that you should discuss with a Sublimation Printing expert.

The second method for producing All Over Print Shirts is the use of Oversized Screen Printing often called Jumbo Screen Printing.  Using specialized screen printing equipment designed for large over sized screen printing, companies like AMBRO Manufacturing can produce screen printed designs that cover the entire surface area of a T-Shirt.
