What Is Sublimation Printing?
Sublimation Printing is a process for transferring full-colour
lettering, graphics and even photographs onto other materials.
Common uses in business are; fabrics (for T-Shirts, computer
mouse mats, hats and other promotional or gift items); metals
like Aluminium (for signs, labels, nameplates, keytags, badges
and the like), and ceramics (for plates, mugs, tiles and similar
items.) The avenues for building or expanding a business using
sublimation printing are extensive.
How It's Done
Sublimation printing is a simple process. First, a 'print'
is made using a computer and an inkjet printer that is loaded
with special sublimation dyes. The image is then placed upon
the item that is to be printed and subjected to a high temperature
using a heat press. When the item is removed from the heat
press, the image will have been transferred! The process takes
no more than a couple of minutes in most cases.

Setting Up Sublimation
For Your Business
Bringing sublimation printing into your business is relatively
inexpensiv. A sublimation printer needs the following items;
a computer running some sort of design software; an Epsom
inkjet printer in one of several possible models; special
sublimation dyes for use in the inkjet printer; a heat press.
Since most businesses already have the computer and software
then all that is needed, in most cases, are the printer,
the dyes and the press. Easy!
Sublimation Vs. Screenprinting
Sublimation prints do not need screens, or setup or virtually
any kind. A colour print from your computer will be a colour
print on your finished item in one minute. Furthermore,
the image is sealed beneath the surface so that it cannot
be scratched off or damaged in any easy way. Given that
prints in full-colour take so little time and are so strong
and durable, it's no wonder that sublimation is one of the
fastest growing printing methods in the world!

Bootleg Materials
Metal without the UltraCoat (tm) mark, no matter how cleverly

genuine materials from your suppliers. If you receive materials
from a dubious source claiming to be UltraCoat (tm) but without
the registered UltraCoat (tm) logo stamped on the protective
covering, please do contact our legal department for investigation
and further action if necessary. Also, and particularly, beware
of materials with very similar names where the seller is clearly
trying to pass material off as genuine UltraCoat (tm) where
it is not. Such materials will not have the UltraCoat (tm)
quality promise or guarantees and could very well be substandard
or problematic.
