It requires to print the design onto special sublimation paper and then applying the design under heat and pressure to bond with the fabric fibers. Sublimation is particularly ideal for light-coloured polyester jerseys, allowing for vibrant colours and intricate details. The technique seamlessly integrates the design with the fabric, providing a durable and high-quality result.


Option #2 | DTG (Direct To Garment) Printing

This process is ideal for simple designs, offering permanent, washable and stylish results.
