What is a sublimation printer, and how does it work?

A sublimation printer uses heat to transfer dye onto materials like fabric, ceramics, or metal. Unlike traditional inkjet printers, sublimation printing creates vibrant, long-lasting designs that won’t fade or peel.

What supplies do I need for sublimation printing?

For successful sublimation printing, you’ll need:

  • Sublimation printer: A dedicated printer designed for heat transfer.
  • Sublimation ink: Special ink that turns into gas when heated for permanent designs.
  • Sublimation paper: Transfers designs onto compatible materials.
  • Heat press: Applies heat and pressure to complete the transfer.

What is the difference between inkjet and sublimation printing?

Inkjet printing applies liquid ink onto paper or fabric, while sublimation printing uses heat to transfer dye onto a surface, embedding the design into the material. Sublimation produces vibrant, fade-resistant results, while inkjet printing is more versatile for various surfaces.
