The technological age has changed the way that society produces and views art.  Constantly developing technologies have made producing art more available to the masses and a lot more approachable.  With digital art there’s no need to worry about messy paints or scattered art tools.  Now spectacular works of art can be created while sitting at a computer.  Technology has also changed the way we put art onto our garments. Digital Sublimation Heat Press Printing offers the ability to produce quick results while maintaining high quality of print.

Digital Sublimation Heat Press Printing

With traditional screen printing, a classic method of putting art onto garments, you are able to achieve wonderful prints, but there are limitations.  To make a screen printed design, a silk screen coated with an emulsion is etched with a graphic.  If the image has multiple colors, each color gets its own screen with only those parts of the image that is of that color.  Also with plastisol inks, which are normally used in screen printing, the more ink you apply to the garment, the more weight and ‘hand’ that print will have.  Digital sublimation heat press printing helps address those problems.  With digital sublimation heat press printing, a high resolution image is digitally printed out with a special printer loaded with special dye cartridges.  The print out is on a heat resistant paper that can be placed on the garment and put into a sublimation heat press.  After a short time in the press, the dyes on the paper vaporize and the image is transferred onto the fabric.

Digital sublimation heat press printing doesn’t care how many colors you want because it is printed out just like a picture onto paper; no need to separate colors into layers.  Since the dye is absorbed into the fabric during the transfer, you won’t have to worry about print density, fading, cracking, or peeling!  If you are interested in having some designs sublimated, or if you would like to know more about digital sublimation het press printing, you can contact us at AMBRO Manufacturing by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.

Dye Sublimation

One of the hottest retreads in garment decorating technology is Dye Sublimation Printing.  Retreads you ask?  Yes, Dye Sublimation has been around for over 20 years.  The reason why it died off was because wearing polyester clothing became passe.

Nike, Adidas and Under Armour injected new life blood into Dye Sublimation Printing when they launched the concept of “Performance Fabrics” and “Moisture Management” or “Wicking”.

Dye Sublimation

The process of Dye Sublimation Printing involves specialized inks, industrial heat and pressure, experience and polyester fabrics or poly family members like Rayon, Nylon, Spandex, Satin etc …

Graphic artists design a T-Shirt in the computer.  This is then output to a special printer, loaded with special inks and transfer medium.  Once output, the image is then applied using intense heat and pressure.

Polyester fabrics soak up the design in brilliant detail and crisp, photo realistic fashion.  The result … nothing short of amazing and stunning.  Dye Sublimation Printing can produce a virtual 360 degree design wrapped around a T-Shirt.

Sublimation Printing typically takes on two forms.  The first is a cut and sew sublimation operation.  In this scenerio, fabric panels are cut, dye sublimated and then sewn into the finished garment.  This type of process ensures that no missing sublimation seams occur, and the results are virtually perfect.

The second method is performing sublimation on an existing garment like a T-Shirt or Hoodie.  This works, but there will always be creasing in the fabric that results in small areas of the finished garment remaining white.  These imperfections are usually around the arm pits and near the seams.

When designers, consumers or entrepreneurs consider the costs between cut and sew and already sewn sublimation, the small imperfections of post sewn sublimation are often acceptable results.
