DESCRIPTION

http://www.artexgroup.net | Dye sublimation is a process of transferring dye to fabric using heat. Through this process, you can achieve photo-realistic images that stay that way. This process makes it affordable to get multi-color images transferred to T-shirts, hats, key rings, and more at an affordable price.

Normally, as matter is heated, it progresses

through the stages of solid, liquid, then gas.

The process of sublimation involves taking matter

directly from the solid state to the gaseous state,

without becoming a liquid in the process.

With a dye sublimation printer, this process allows for ink

to be dyed into fabric via heat, which makes the dye

permanent and allows for photo-realistic images on

fabrics.

Dye sublimation is done using a

digital image, a dye sublimation

printer, and dye.

The image is transferred to dye sublimation paper, and

the ink is transferred to the fabric.

The image retains the digital quality, and is permanently

embedded into the fabric.

The fabric can then be washed, dried, and worn over and

over; and the image lasts as long as the fabric it's printed

on.

Dye sublimation can be used to make a

variety of patches for a diverse range of

products.

Since there is no extra cost associated with

adding different colors, you don't have to

choose a 1 or 2-color image to save money.

It also isn't any more expensive to have full

coverage color than spot color.

This means you can have work shirts, club

hats, and many other items that look great

but don't cost more.

Dye sublimation is often done on patches

because they can then be used on a multitude

of products, including:

• Work shirts and jackets

• Promotional items

• Merchandise for valued customers

• Event T-shirts and hats

• Uniforms for EMTs, police, firefighters, and

municipalities

• Hats, shirts, and jackets for cycling groups,

motorcycle clubs, sports teams, bands,

scout troops, and many others

The process used for dye sublimation on

patches is the same process used for a variety

of other products.

For example, many mouse pads and jigsaw

puzzles use the process of dye sublimation.

The images look just as vibrant and detailed on

fabric as on rubber mouse pads and cardboard

puzzles.

Screen-printing and other processes for

printing images on fabric usually wear off

before too long.

By using the dye sublimation process, you

save money as well as the environment

because the images last just as long as the T-

shirts, hats, and other materials the images

are printed on.

Other processes to transfer images to fabric

include screen-printing, embroidery, dyes,

washes, and appliqués.

The problem with these processes is that the

image doesn't last or the process is

expensive, or both.

Dye Sublimation allows you to get high

quality at an affordable price.
