Sublimation

You will need to be trained in person before using the machine. 

What is Sublimation?
Sublimation is a printing process that uses heat to transfer special inks directly into a material, usually fabric or coated products. Unlike vinyl or stickers that sit on top of a surface, sublimation actually infuses the design into the fibers or coating. This makes the image permanent, vibrant, and resistant to peeling, cracking, or fading.

Why is Sublimation Great for Products?

  • Durability: Designs last as long as the product itself.

  • Vibrant Colors: Produces bright, full-color images with sharp details.

  • Smooth Finish: Because the ink becomes part of the surface, you don’t feel any texture or layer on top.

  • Versatility: Works on many items, like mugs, keychains, shirts, mousepads, and more (as long as they’re coated or polyester-based).

In short, sublimation allows us to create professional-quality, long-lasting custom products that are both beautiful and practical.
