Do you know what sublimation is?  If not, it’s a process where a solid shifts to a gas without passing through a liquid phase.  Why should you care?  Well, for one thing, many of the printed graphics you see around you on a daily basis have been done with sublimation printing.  For example, I’m sure you’ve seen sublimation printing on shirts before without even knowing what you were looking at.  Think back to a noteworthy shirt that has an awesome all over graphic, chock-full of color or a high definition photograph with perfect clarity; chances are very high that that garment was printed with dye sublimation!

How can sublimation printing on shirts be capable of so much?  Well, the dye sublimation process is unique because it starts with printing out your artwork digitally from a sublimation printer onto a heat transfer sheet.  The artwork comes straight from the digital file so all the colors and clarity remain intact; there is no need for screens or color separations like with screen printing.  The transfer sheet gets place onto the blank shirt to be printed and together that are placed into the sublimation press.  The heat press applies high temperatures and pressure for a brief period of time to cause the dyes to sublimate and transfer into the garment.

Once the sublimation occurs, the print is locked into the very fibers of the garment permanently.  What you see on the computer screen is what you’ll see on the fabric and that’s what makes sublimation printing on shirts so appealing.  You have no limits on details and colors, so you are free to explore every corner of your creativity to the maximum.  And you can get all of that done here at AMBRO Manufacturing because we are a contract sublimation, screen printing, and embroidery company!  If you are interested in placing an order for custom sublimation printing on shirts, or if you would like to find out more about us, you can contact us by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.

Besides screen printing, we also do digital sublimation. This is another type of printing that will be able to get you very bright, vibrant colors. Unlike screen printing, dye sublimation consists of using a special paper transfer of the design to be printed. When heat pressed the ink on the paper turns into a vapor, which gets dyed into the fabric. With digital sublimation you don’t have to worry about how many colors the print is, since we can do full color.

To use dye sublimation, the shirt or whatever garment you are printing on has to be white and 100% polyester. This will ensure the best print possible. You also want to make sure that the image that you want to use is high resolution. If it is not, then you will risk a pixelated or blurry print. You can have an all over printed shirt with a cool pattern or a simple design, the world is your oyster.

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.

The process of Sublimation T-Shirt Printing produces amazing works of art that can be worn out and about.  Using the specialized process of dye sublimation, takes science and turns it into art.

With over 30 years of experience, AMBRO Manufacturing has been providing garment decorating and fabric embellishment services to the trade.  With the resurgence of polyester performance fabrics, Sublimation T-Shirt Printing has taken off and has carved out it’s own special niche in the marketplace.

Sublimation T-Shirt Printing

Firmly rooted in urban communities, young entrepreneurs are selling amazing works of art going door to door or directly out of their trunk.  The next FuBu could be out there.

The amazing part of working with the Sublimation T-Shirt Printing process is that fashion incubators can launch high quality retail level merchandise without the large cost of set ups and the high minimums that are usually associated with multiple color designs.

Companies like AMBRO Manufacturing offer low minimum quantities, just 12, to launch a brand.  Fashion entrepreneurs can launch a brand on a shoestring but have a product line that looks like they are a huge company.

Most fashion entrepreneurs think that they need to immediately jump into a cut and sew environment to produce truly unique garments.  While cut and sew does open up a wide range of fashion possibilities, the high costs associated with domestic cut and sew projects often scare would be fashion moguls away.

There are of course over seas cut and sew options, but the unknown of working with someone thousands of miles away, inconsistent quality control and the risk of pay first and wait for 8 weeks or more for product delivery, coupled with customs clearances and other issues, is not always the best option either.

Post sewn garments can be sublimated and done well with minimal issues.  While not perfect, this solution is often an acceptable compromise for start up fashion companies that are looking to launch their brand.
