Services
Sublimation
What exactly is sublimation?
Sublimation is a state of the art printing process mostly used for “print on demand apparel”. It is a method of printing that transfers a design into a material or fabric using ink and heat. The heat opens the pores of the fabric, and then applied with pressure, the ink cools and returns to a solid form. The result is a permanent, full-colour image that won’t crack, peel, or wash away from the substrate.
Benefits of sublimation.
Freedom with your designs, you can have as many colours, logos, and graphics as you like, at no extra printing cost.
All over shirt design or plain subtle prints, we’re only limited by your imagination.
Longevity of a sublimated fishing shirt. It won’t crack peel or fade, even after going through the wash countless limes.
Sublimated fishing shirts are suitable for small runs, enabling low minimum order quantities.
