Straightforward Printing Process
Printing textile with sublimation inks requires a two-step process. Firstly, a design is printed onto transfer paper, using a inkjet printing platform. Subsequently, the ink/design is transferred to the fabric, by using either a calender or a heat press, at a temperature ranging from 180°C to 220°C depending on the fabric.
