Sublimation

Sublimation print is a full colour option used for branding products that have a special coating on them or fabrics suitable for the sublimation process. A transfer is produced by printing sublimation ink onto transfer paper and then heat pressing it onto the product.

Limitations

Can only be used for suitable products with white surfaces. Only approximate PMS colours can be reproduced. Some colours cannot be reproduced including metallic silver & gold.
