Understanding Sublimation Printing: The Gold Standard for Sportswear
Dye Sublimation is a high-end printing technique where custom designs are first printed onto specialized transfer paper. Using a heat press (calender machine) at high temperature and pressure, the ink is converted into gas and infused directly into the fabric fibers.
Key Benefits of Sublimated Jerseys:
-
Performance Retained: Unlike traditional screen printing, sublimation keeps the fabric's breathability and moisture-wicking properties intact.
-
Vibrant & Durable: Offers rich colors and intricate details that are fade-resistant and peel-proof even after multiple washes.
-
Versatility: Perfect for basketball jerseys, volleyball kits, cycling wear, hoodies, and team windbreakers.
