What Is Dye Sublimation?
Dye sublimation is a printing process where heat transfers dye directly into polyester fabric.
Instead of creating a layer of ink on top, sublimation:
- Bonds the ink into the fabric fibers
- Creates permanent color
- Eliminates cracking or peeling
- Maintains breathability
The result is smooth, lightweight, high performance apparel ideal for athletic wear.
