What is Dye Sublimation?

Dye sublimation is a high-quality printing process that uses heat and pressure to transfer dye into materials like fabric, ceramic, metal, and plastic. First, the design is printed onto a special transfer sheet, which is then applied to the product and heated until the dye turns into gas and bonds with the surface.

This method produces vibrant, full-color prints that won’t crack, peel, or fade, making it ideal for print-on-demand products such as blankets, mugs, t-shirts, pillowcases, and mouse pads. Because the dye actually becomes part of the material, the result is a soft, smooth finish with exceptional image clarity.
