This digital textile printing process uses heat and pressure to transfer ink in a gaseous state directly into the polyester fibers of the fabric, creating a high-quality and durable image. Sublimation is a sustainable and ecological printing technique, as very little water and energy are used in its execution, and it does not produce any toxic waste.
