What Is Sublimation Printing？
In scientific terms, sublimation refers to the transition of a substance directly from a solid-state to a gas state without going through a liquid state.
Sublimation printing is a new generation technology, using special sublimation ink and sublimation transfer paper. Sublimation ink is a highly viscous mixture of solid dye particles in the carrier liquid. When heat and pressure are applied to the dye solid embedded in the transfer medium during the printing process, a sublimation process occurs. If it is printed on the clothes, the ink is directly sublimated into the clothes fiber, the durability is the same as that of cloth dyeing, and the color is sharp, which is more suitable for colorful patterns and lasts longer, and will not crack or peel over time like other printing methods.
What Is A Sublimation Tumbler？
Because sublimation printing is easy to operate, low cost, and the technology is quick to get started, many hand-made enthusiasts will make it at home. Some of the most popular sublimation blanks in the market are mugs and tumblers. All of these are coated with a special polymer coating. Under the high temperature, the pattern on the sublimation paper will be sublimated to the tumblers.
