Sublimation printing uses heat to turn solid dye into gas, bonding it permanently into polyester fibers. Because the dye becomes part of the fabric, the print won't crack, peel, or fade over time. It's the go-to method for all-over designs and vibrant, full-color graphics that need to last.
- Best for: 100% polyester and light-colored garments
