ECOBLOCK VS. ECOFLEX: WHICH HEAT TRANSFER FOR SUBLIMATED JERSEYS?
Picture the worst-case scenario It’s matchday. The new jerseys are ready, the fans are in the stands, sponsors are watching, and the cameras are rolling. But during warm-up, you notice something alarming: the sponsor logo on the crisp white jersey suddenly looks pink. The sublimation dye from the fabric has bled through the logo. This issue is called dye migration. For clubs and brands, it means complaints, costly re-productions, and unwanted stress.
