Sublimation Printing Fabric

Sublimation Printing Fabric

Are you tired of getting a fabric printing and eventually having the print crack and fall apart? Why not try sublimation printing? Sublimation printing is a printing process that allows the ink to be printed into the fabric and not on it. This is a very simple technique that is initiated by heat and controlled with pressure and time. There are many different sublimation printing fabrics that can be used from a t-shirt to leggings and even a sports bra can be sublimated!

Also there are two different ways you can sublimate fabric. There is cut and sew, which is when a garment is sublimated before it is sewn together and then there is when a garment is sublimated when it’s already sewn together. When trying to figure out what sublimation printing fabric you want to use you need to know that the fabric must be polyester or a polyester treated fabric. The material may also have a high blend of polyester or nylon or spandex which is among the polyester family.

Your sublimation printing fabric may also have a percentage of cotton in it but you need to know that it will not come out as great and it reduces the bright eye popping colors in the end result. But in today’s world there are so many polyester fabrics that there’s no way you can’t find something you like.  With sublimation printing fabric you also must know that for the best quality the fabric must be white. Don’t what your fabric white? Not a problem you can sublimate the fabric any color you’d like from green to black.

So maybe you’re a dance teacher and are looking for new fashionable tops for your girls. You could get a sublimated print sports bra top with your dance team name on it in a bright color or maybe a tie-dyed pink or purple. There is no wrong way to go. You can get whatever design you can come up with and whatever size. You can get the whole thing sublimated or just a design in the front chest area of your shirt.

It is important to note that when searching for a Dye Sublimation Printing Services partner that you are aware of the two very different and distinct approaches to custom dye sublimation.

The traditional approach to Dye Sublimation Printing Services is to enter a cut and sew environment where fabric panels are cut, dye sublimated and then sewn together into the final product.  The advantages of this method  include a true 360 degree print, no printing issues near the seams and an amazing almost perfect look and feel.  The downside to this method are the high costs, long turn around times and large minimum order requirements, especially for custom gear.

The newest method of Dye Sublimation Printing Services involves already sewn items.  T-Shirts, Pillow Cases, Hoodies etc … that have already been sewn together can be custom dye sublimated.  As long as the item being decorated can be reasonably flattened, you can sublimate on it.  The upside to this method includes: Very fast turn around time (days vs months), reasonably good results, lower costs and low minimum orders.  The down side is that no garment that has already been sewn together can be placed completely flat for the Dye Sublimation Printing Services process.  As a result, inevitable creasing will occur, and when this happens, there will be blank spots where sublimation dyes can not reach.  These spots typically occur under the arms, near the seams and the shoulder lines.  Using the proper artwork, post sewn garments can look amazing and rival cut and sew sublimation.
