1. Sublimation Printer

• Any Epson, Canon, or Mimaki printer with a print
  size of up to 13" X 19.3" is created for
  sublimation printing.
• 2. Sublimation Printer Ribbon
• The ribbon is the key to the dye transfer process
  during sublimation printing. It contains the dyes
  and the release agent that allows dyes to be
  transferred from a ribbon onto a substrate as gas
  rather than being printed as liquid ink.

3. Sublimation Paper

• Printing on paper is the most common form of
  sublimation printing however, any specialty
  paper can be used for this process. Coat papers,
  which have a thin polyethylene coating, are often
  used for this process. Coat paper is available in
  matte or glossy finish and can be purchased in
  rolls or sheets.

4. A Cutting Tool

• Before you start printing, youll need to cut out
  your designs. This can be done with a cutting
  plotter or simply by hand with an x-acto knife or
  scissors.
• After youve printed your designs, the cutting
  tool is used to separate the printed design from
  the rest of the paper.

Applications of Sublimation Printing

• 1. Textile
• Knit fabric is most commonly used for printing,
  but any fabric can be used. Fiber content and
  thickness may affect the final print result, but
  the general requirements for the fabric are
  durability and absorbency.

2. Non-Textile

• Sublimation printing allows for full-color prints
  because any surface can be printed on. The most
  common non-textile applications are printing on
  glass, metal, ceramics, plastics, and even wood.

CONCLUSION

• Sublimation printing is a process that allows you
  to print onto a wide variety of fabrics and
  materials. Unfortunately, it has many advantages
  over traditional screen printing, including
  longevity. However, the equipment for this type
  of printing has some challenges, so buyers should
  take an informed decision. I hope this article
  helped you learn the basics about what is
  sublimation printing and how does it work.
