What is Sublimation Printing?

Heat sublimation is a digital printing process that uses heat to transfer dye onto materials such as fabric, ceramic, metal, or wood. It works by first printing the design onto sublimation paper using a special inkjet printer. The paper is then placed onto the material and heated to a high temperature. This causes the dye to vaporize and penetrate the fabric, permanently bonding the design onto the fabric.

What is Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV)?

Heat transfer vinyl, also known as HTV or iron-on vinyl, is a type of material with a heat-activated adhesive that can be cut into any shape using scissors or a die-cutting machine. After the design is cut, it can be transferred onto fabric using an iron or a heat press.
