Heat Transfer & Sublimation

We offer both heat transfer and sublimation decoration methods. Both imprint methods use heat to transfer an image and are cost effective since they allow for full color printing at single color pricing! But what’s the difference?

Sublimation ink converts from a solid to a gas when using heat and pressure leaving a breathable imprint on specially coated polyester materials. This process literally dyes the material so you don’t have to worry about the imprint fading, cracking or falling off. While sublimation may not be applicable for certain materials, there are a wide variety of items out there that work great with this process such as polyester apparel, mouse pads, coasters and drinkware.

Heat Transfer decoration offers more flexibility when it comes to printing on different materials. The process involves printing a design onto specialty paper with the CMYK Full Color Process and applying it to the top of the material using a heat press. Once applied with the heat press, peel away the paper and your design will have adhered onto the material. Sublimation is limited to 100% polyester fabrics but with heat transfers you can decorate just about any fabric! We can even apply heat transfers to select headwear!
