Sublimation print is applied very much in the same way as Vinyl heat transfer printing with a lot of heat and pressure however the way that the print attaches itself to the item/garment is very different.
The Sublimation Printing (more formally known as Dye-Sublimation Printing) process transfers the printed image to the item/garment whilst going from a solid to gaseous and then returning to a solid state. This process means that the image is infused into the item/garment rather than attached on top of it.
