Direct Sublimation Printing,
It is simple and fast compared to screen printing and other printing techniques. It is a digital printing technique that is used more in the commercial printing and signage industry.

Direct Sublimation Printing Advantages

Digitally printed with water-based inks that will interact with heat to produce a vibrant and detailed print image, it is a two-stage fabric printing process where the synthetic top layer interacts with the dye and then the printed top layer reacts with heat to bring colors to life.

How Does Direct Sublimation Printing Work?

Sublimation inks react with heat and pressure to turn the ink into gas. When heat is applied, the pores of the fabric open, allowing the gaseous dye to flow into the open pores. As the substrate cools, its pores close and permanently trap the inks into the fabric. The process results in consistently vibrant, photographic hues as gaseous inks enter the pores of the substrate rather than build up on the surface. Dye sublimation printing is the two main methods of transfer printing and direct dye printing.

Transfer Printing

The press prints on transfer paper with a coating designed to hold and then deposits the printed image onto the surface of the fabric in a heat press, under heat and pressure.

When the print on the transfer paper is contacted with the fabric in the heat press, the ink embedded in the paper is converted into a gas and penetrates directly into the fibers of the fabric.

Direct Sublimation Printing

Direct sublimation printing eliminates the need for transfer paper as inks are sprayed directly onto the top layer of the coated fabric.




Printed fabrics still need to be run through a heat roller for the sublimation process to fix the dye to the fabric.

What are the Differences Between Transfer and Direct Dye Printing?

Direct sublimation printing penetrates further into the fabric, allowing the color to migrate to the back side of the fabric.
Transfer dye printing inks sit on the fabric and this allows the threads to be seen when the fabric is stretched, in this case, it will cause the backlight to be visible, especially when considering backlit fabrics and usage areas.

Since the inks of direct sublimation printing fill the gaps between the threads, it will not allow the passage of spaces and light beams, and will reveal a much clearer and sharper image.

Direct Sublimation Printing Is It Really Eco-Friendly - Sustainable?

Direct sublimation printing uses water-based dyes and is the most sustainable method as it eliminates the use of paper in the printing process.
