Sublimation Printing - Products:
Sublimation printing enables any computer generated image to be reproduced into the surface of a range of materials. The computer image is printed using the special Sublimation Inks onto a release paper. The printed image is then placed in contact with a material in a Heat Press. In the Press the ink turns into a gas and reforms in the surface of the material it is in contact with. The materials must be PVC, Polyester or Polymer coated or ‘loaded’.
Sublimation Printing - Signs, Labels and Front Panels:
This simple cost effective system is ideal for the in-house manufacture of industrial signs, nameplates, labels and general signage on various substrates, in full colour. Ideal for 'one-off' to small production quantities. The Key to the process are special inks and substrates that enable your printed design to be heat transferred into the surface of the substrate material. With the image in the surface of the substrate - no over-lamination is necessary.
Sublimation Printing - Educational Uses:
Sublimation Printing is a wonderful resource for Graphical Products, Engineering, Product Design, Food Technology, Electronic Products, Art and Design, Ceramics, Textiles and much more.
