YOU SHOULD LEARN MORE ABOUT INKJET SUBLIMATION PRINTING TECHNOLOGY

If you don't know much about it, this page will help you.
The fundamental inkjet dye sublimation technology prints images and text onto special inkjet paper by dissolving a heat-reactive sublimation dye ink on sublimation transfer paper. We refer to this as a dye sub transfer. Next, the sublimatable objects and dye sublimation transfer paper are put into a heat press machine. Upon the completion of the heating cycle, the picture on the paper has been effectively transferred and imbedded into the coating of the object. Feel nothing when you run your finger over the sublimation surface.
Our inkjet sublimation paper and applications
In the case of polyester, satin and some other synthetic fibers, the sublimation dye embeds into the fibers and becomes part of the fabric. Again, nothing is felt!
This is because items coated in polyester, polymer, or both are always used for sublimation. The print's solid dyes turn into a gas instead of a liquid at high temperatures. Additionally, the high temperature causes the polymer's pores to open, letting gas in. The temperature decreases, the pores close, and the gas returns to a solid form when the object is taken out of the heat. It is now incorporated into the polymer.
If you do everything correctly, it cannot be washed out or come off, unless the actual fibers or coating is damaged or re-heated. And the sunlight can reactivate the process, so over-coating hard items will give them a longer life.
This is why Inkjet sublimation paper can't be done on natural materials, like 100% cotton. Natural fibers and non-coated materials have no "pores" to open and so the dye just sits on top of the fabric. Heat transfers are the best way to imprint cotton and cotton-blend fabrics. We have complete confidence to offer you high quality, to satisfy your requirements well.
