Meaning of Sublimation

The literal meaning – as it is defined in the science world – sublimation is the phase transition of a substance from a solid directly to a gas without going through a liquid phase. This phase occurs under specific temperature and pressure conditions. As for dye sublimation, the "solid" part of the equation denotes the microscopic particles of solid ink dyes which rest on the surface of your printed, ready-to-transfer sublimation page which you printed directly from CorelDRAW or Adobe PhotoShop to a supported Epson, Ricoh or Mutoh sublimation printer. When introduced to heat, these solid ink particles turn directly to a gas which then permanently dyes the decorated surface and sub-surface of your product.

Microfiber Cloths

Microfiber is commonly made from polyesters, making it perfect for sublimation. Microfiber is growing in popularity due to its softness, durability, absorption, wicking abilities, water repellency, and filtering.
