Great for photos, gradients, and complex patterns.
Vibrancy
Accuracy
It works best on white or light-colored polyester fabrics and polymer-coated surfaces
Yes, it uses water-based inks and produces soft, breathable results ideal for activewear.
No, sublimation cannot print white. It relies on the base fabric’s color, typically white or light.
Yes, the ink becomes part of the fabric, making it resistant to fading, cracking, or peeling.
Sublimation printing offers vivid, permanent results but comes with material and color constraints. It’s limited to polyester and light-colored surfaces. High heat may affect sensitive items.
Polyester-Only Fabrics
Sublimation only works on polyester or poly-coated materials—not suitable for cotton garments.
High Heat Required
The process involves high temperatures that may damage heat-sensitive items.
Shrinkage Risk on Some Items
Heat can cause minor shrinkage or warping, especially on cheaper polyester blends.
Light Colors Required
Cannot print white ink; best results are on white or light-colored surfaces.
