What Is Sublimation

Sublimation is a printing technique that uses heat to transfer dye onto 100% polyester or 50/50 poly cotton blend fabrics. The process involves printing a design onto special sublimation paper with sublimation ink, then using a heat press to transfer the ink onto the fabric. The heat turns the ink into a gas, allowing it to bond with the fibers, resulting in prints that won’t peel, crack or and will have no feel. This method works best on polyester fabrics or polyester-coated materials, offering full-color designs with excellent durability.  Sublimation designs are brightest and most vibrant on lighter colored shirts.

Sublimation printing does not use white ink.  Any white area in a design will appear as the color of the shirt you choose.   

Due to the sublimation process, designs may have a soft, slightly faded vintage appearance that is part of the unique charm of this printing method.

Please Note:

• Colors may vary slightly due to monitor settings and lighting.
• Every shirt is individually handcrafted, making each one uniquely yours.
• The vintage appearance is a natural characteristic of sublimation printing and should be expected with every order.
