What is Sublimation (Dye Sublimation Transfer)?
Dye Sublimation Transfer is a process where you take an image – that has been created digitally (either by scanning, downloaded from a digital camera or created on your computer) and then print this image with a printer using special sublimation transfer inks onto transfer paper. Once the image is on the paper you place it under a heat press on top of your polyester or poly coated item (substrate) and heat until the inks turn to a gas and transfer the image onto the towel.
Sports Rally Towels – Everything from t-shirts and rally towels, golf towels, to spirit towels, beach towels, and gym towels is a possibility. The ever-growing popularity of sports and fashion apparel opens up new sublimation opportunities everyday. A heat press will allow you to create dye sublimation, expect to pay around $1,700+ and upwards for a decent full-size shirt press that has heat and pressure controls. Dye-sublimation is a digital printing technology using all-color artwork that works with a specific type of material. Digital sublimation is the process commonly used for decorating apparel, signs, and banners, golf towels, spirit towels, rally towels and even beach towels. The science of sublimation is when heat and pressure are applied to a solid, turning it into a gas through an endothermic reaction without passing through the liquid phase.
