dye sublimation

Dye-sublimation printing is a digital computer printing technique which uses heat to transfer dye onto materials such as a plastic, card, paper, or fabric through a specially designed ribbon that holds solid inks. Our in house dye-sublimation printers are designed and used for producing photographic prints, ID cards, clothing, and more.

Three primary colors are applied to the page or other material. Once the ink hits the media, it transitions from a gas back to solid, and a full-color image results. So that the ink does not smudge, the printer finishes by introducing a clear protective coating to the paper/substrate.
