Sublimation

Sublimation is popular among businesses due to its speed, low setup costs, and high-quality results. It’s ideal for personalized, on-demand production, seasonal promotions, and custom gift items.

You can sublimate on any product made of polyester or with a special sublimation coating. Popular items include mugs, photo tiles, drinkware, mousepads, apparel, puzzles, and metal panels. It’s important to use blanks specifically made for sublimation to ensure the best results.

Common mistakes include:

  • Ghosting caused by paper shifting during pressing - always secure with heat tape.
  • Faded prints due to wrong temperature or pressure. Tip: you can see the temperature and pressure on the product page.
  • Trying to sublimate on cotton - sublimation only works on polyester or coated surfaces.
  • Using low-quality blanks with poor coating that affects results.

At Technotape, we partner with leading brands in the sublimation industry to ensure professional and reliable results for every application.
We proudly offer:

  • Sawgrass: professional sublimation printers and inks known for exceptional color performance.
  • Epson: high-quality printers trusted for accuracy and consistency.
  • ChromaLuxe & Unisub: premium substrates for photo panels, signage, keychains, coasters, and more.
  • Sefa: advanced heat presses and equipment for consistent, high-volume production.
  • Craft Express: innovative tools and accessories for creative sublimation.
  • S‑Race: premium sublimation paper delivering sharp, vivid color transfer.

Ghosting occurs when your printed design looks doubled or blurry - usually caused by the transfer paper shifting during or after pressing. To prevent ghosting:

  • Secure the transfer with heat‑resistant tape.
  • Remove the item immediately after pressing to stop heat migration.
  • Open the press smoothly to avoid air movement that can lift the paper.

Sublimation ink bonds with polyester fibers, not cotton. Because cotton doesn’t contain polyester molecules, the ink can’t permanently embed - it will simply wash out. For best results, use polyester fabrics or sublimation‑coated blanks designed for heat transfer.
