Finally, this fabric is manufactured using polyester sublimation technology, which allows for vibrant and detailed printing with high color fidelity. The technique consists of printing the image on transfer paper and impregnating it into the fabric using heat and pressure, which allows the pigment to be strongly fixed without affecting the texture or elasticity of the fabric.
