Durability of Shirt-Making Methods with Sublimation

A process that involves the printing of a design with special type of sublimation ink and then heat application to a “compatible” garment.

Durability – Excellent, this process will often outlast the garment.

Look/Feel – Excellent, the process involves the dyeing of fabric, so there is virtually no feel to the transferred image. Very high photo quality results and detail can be achieved.


Ideal For – Lower quantities and personalization, photo realistic prints where durability is in high demand. Yields very professional results.

Ease of use – Below Average, when dealing with inks, especially sublimation inks, knowledge of color correction, dpi., and proper application are critical.  The very nature of the aftermarket inks being loaded into the recommended Epson printer can create problems with clogging if strict instruction isn’t followed.

Advantages – Highly detailed, photo quality prints can be created and transferred over to your garment in a matter of minutes. The feel and durability are second to none.

Disadvantages – Cost of inks. The process of sublimation is also restricted to application onto light colored garments. Another disadvantages is that these garments must be comprised of at least 65% polyester in content.  Blanks can often be hard to find and/or expensive.
