DYE SUBLIMATION

DYE SUBLIMATION PRINTING SERVICES

For wholesale t shirt sublimation printing services, the process of dye sublimation involves printing the digital artwork on a transfer paper using special ink. This transfer paper is then placed on a polyester garment and pressed with high heat and heavy pressure. This special (dye sublimation) ink starts to sublimate once exposed to the heat and begins transforming directly to a gaseous state. The dye gas bonds with the polyester fabric, converting the digital image onto clothes.

This process not only yields vivid print colors that are washable and durable, but it also allows you to print photographic or color-complex graphics accurately.

With dye sublimation printing, you can “sublimate” your design onto white polyester garments only. You can produce your design or image for custom sublimation shirts and t shirts as a traditional front, back, or sleeve print location on white poly shirts. You can also choose to print your artwork “All-Over” the polyester garment.

It is important to note that with “All-Over” dye sublimation printing, there are inconsistencies that will occur from print to print. This makes each printed garment a truly “One Off” piece where it will have some variation relative to the other prints throughout the run so that no two dye sublimation t-shirts are the same. The most common inconsistency that will occur is in the form of white wrinkles in the fabric that are most likely to appear along seams, near the collar, or around the armpit area. Another inconsistency that can occur is called “ghosting”. This happens when the dye gas settles into the fabric in unintended areas of the custom sublimation t-shirts. Generally, when ghosting occurs, it will create color shadows along the edges of elements within your design.

These inconsistencies are part of the dye sublimation process. We are unable to provide refunds or discounts for any of these kinds of issues with dye sublimation orders.

For the best results, please design your All Over graphics with these inconsistencies in mind. For example, creating designs that are “busy” with all kinds of colors/patterns works better than printing pure solid colors where a white wrinkle will appear far more visible.

DISCLAIMER
*With dye sublimation orders, there will be some inconsistencies from print to print. For example, white wrinkles can appear where the garment is not laying perfectly flat. These types of issues are most likely going to happen along seams, around the collar, or in the armpit area. Also, “ghosting” can occur where the dye gas settles into surrounding elements within the design. If this happens, it may result in some unintentional color shadowing within the design.

We do not issue refunds/discounts or accept returns for orders that have these types of issues.
