The printing technology used for this fabric is sublimation, which allows digital images to be printed directly onto the fabric. In the sublimation process, inks turn into vapor and penetrate the fabric fibers, creating a permanent and vibrant image on the surface. Sublimation is ideal for synthetic fabrics like this Polyester Lycra-Cairo, as the ink adheres easily to the surface and does not fade with use or washing.
