Dye sublimation is a form of heat transfer where the graphics are digitally printed and then heated to a gas that can then bond with the shirt fibres. The ink becomes fully infused into the fabric instead of just printed on the surface which results in a long-lasting, high-quality print that you can’t even feel!

• Lightweight and breathable - the fibres are dyed so nothing sits on top of the fabric
• Super soft - you can’t even feel the print
• Long lasting and durable - the colour is embedded into the fabric and does not fade or wash out, even after multiple washes
• Unlimited colours - you can print full-colour photographic images
• Outstanding detail - you can print super fine lines and the tiniest details
• Small runs - there is minimal setup compared to screen printing, which makes it easy to do single prints and eliminates overproduction
• Eco-friendly - sublimation doesn’t require a lot of water or create a lot of plastic waste like other printing methods. The only waste is recyclable paper!
• Non-toxic - no harsh and harmful chemicals are used like in screen printing

All printing processes have their drawbacks, but we think that the limitations of dye sublimation are not that bad!

• Since the ink needs to dye the shirt threads and dark coloured shirts are already super dyed, you cannot print on dark shirts
• Sublimation inks only bond with polyester fibres, therefore you cannot print on cotton shirts or material
• Since you can only press what can be printed from a CMYK inkjet printer, you cannot print the colour white... but we don't usually need to anyway!

Absolutely! Like all printed shirts, we recommend machine washing in cold water and either hanging to dry or drying on low so that your print can stay as fresh as the day we made it for you! You can also iron it on low, just not for too long! Heat is the enemy.
