Sublimation printing is a unique process in itself, as it allows users to imprint designs and images onto products which have a polymer base or coating. It works through using a heat press and can print onto a range of items including: mugs, mouse mats, phone cases, trophies, clocks, keyrings and many more.
Personalise Your Merchandise
Printing companies who use sublimation printers are able to create unique designs onto a variety of products. This is particularly useful for businesses for example, who may want to hand out merchandise that is branded with their company logo at events or meetings. Not only is this a beneficial advertising tool, but it also will give you edge over your competition. You can really be as creative as you want.
How Does Sublimation Printing Work?
The sublimation process involves printing a heat transfer which uses sublimation ink cartridges that react when placed under a temperature of around 200°C. Once this temperature has been reached, the inks turn into a gaseous state and the colours become even more vibrant. Once placed onto an item, it permanently dyes the coated surface.
As soon as this has dried, it will feel smooth and the colour will not run and cannot be smudged. In effect it becomes part of the surface. The image or design is transferred onto the sublimation paper where it can then be applied to the promotional item using a heat press. The colours can penetrate through fabrics as well, which means that you can personalise just about anything.
Where Could I Use The Items?
Students will soon be returning to universities, and if you are planning on attending one of the many fresher’s fayres that are about to begin to promote your business, then you may want to look at some funky items to grab the attention of passers-by. For example, you could create some really innovative designs on mobile phone cases, iPad covers, laptop bags, mugs and keyrings. You could include funny slogans, or a catchy phrase which will help you to be remembered at a later date.
