Sublimation printing (also known as Dye-sublimation printing) reproduces photographs beautifully. It uses heat to vaporize the ink, transferring it from transfer paper to the substrate. That heat comes from a print head composed of many small elements. The temperature of each one is controllable, with more heat resulting in greater ink transfer and more intense color. Unlike with solvent-printing, dye-sublimation printing produces continuous tone images making it particularly suitable for fabric graphics.
