Long Explanation:  Everything you wanted to know about sublimation but were afraid to ask.

Sublimation is a professional, long lasting solution to standard inkjet heat transfers. The dye sublimation process consists of printing a special sublimation ink through a specific printer and onto a sublimation transfer sheet.  By using a heat process the sublimation ink can be transferred onto a variety of substrates such as t-shirts, mugs, coasters, mouse pads, plaques and many more. The sublimation process is different than standard ink transfers because instead of using a carrier sheet to take the ink over to the shirt or item, sublimation ink actually becomes a part of the item.

 Dye sublimation ink is transformed into a gas when heated at a high temperature.  The transfer process works by using a heat press and pressure to heat the transfer on top of the item.  The heat not only releases the gas from the ink but it also opens up the pores of the polyester, polymer, or polymer coated item which then allows the gas to enter. When the heat press is lifted and the temperature cools the sublimation ink turns back into a solid form and the pores close permanently encapsulating the ink within the polymer.  If done correctly, the image will never fade and loose its luster unless the actual fiber or polymer is damaged.  Because it becomes a part of the substrate, the ink feels extremely sooth and soft to the touch. 

Unfortunately because of the pores needed to hold the dye, sublimation cannot be done successfully onto 100%, 50/50 blend shirts or your basic items like a coffee mug you pickup at Costco.  Shirts need to be 100% polyester and other items need to be coated with a polymer coating to accept the sublimation ink.  These special items are not hard to find, Hanes makes a line of shirts called SoftLink which is a 100% polyester on the outside and 100% cotton on the inside giving you the best of both worlds.  We also carry a variety of coated items such as mugs, coasters, mouse pads, plaques, clocks, and much more.  Like most other printer inks, sublimation ink is transparent. This means that it needs to be printed on a light background or for optimal results a white background.  Unfortunately most sublimation cannot be done on dark objects.

 Hundreds of blank items are available for sublimation printing. There are two web catalogs full of samples on the links page to give you a creative kick in the pants. There are hundreds of premade samples at the Get Promoted workshop and many blank items that will help you make good design decisions. This imprinting process is custom made for each item, so you can order one at a time and it can be completely personalized. This is so important to our business customers. Get Promoted is offering a chance to showcase your business name, logo, and ideas on quality products with vibrant colors and a great photo reproduction.
