Q2 : How many washes can the print survive?
A high quality dye-sublimation print should last for about 10 years. As the print has had a chance to cool down after the heat press has been applied, the dye gets trapped in the substrate permanently. Making the dye-sublimation the most durable way of printing on fabric.

Q6 : How precise are the colors of the print?
The dye-sublimation ink kits consist of 4-8 colours. Main ones are Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black and also lighter versions of those. Compared to Direct To Garment (DTG) printing, which only uses 4 colours, dye sublimation offers a more accurate colour-matching. This method is ideal for Photograph printing as it best compliments the skin colour.

Q12 : How come the T-shirt is good for both athletic activities and leisure?
Polyester fabrics generally don't absorb condensation like sweat and other fluids. The material doesn't leave you with a damp feel after going for a jog because it is known to be hydrophobic. Therefore, adding polyester’s anti-odor properties to the picture, you could wear it for the whole day even after being active.

Q13 : What is Dye-Sublimation?
Dye-Sublimation is a method of printing directly into a polymer coated substrate. Instead of using the DTG printer where image is created directly on the fabric, in this case the image is printed with special inks onto a transfer paper, which is later laid on the desired area of the material. Large amount of pressure and heat is applied, under the impact of high temperature the colored dyes turn into gas, which penetrates the material and gets trapped there temporarily once it's cooled down.

link

Q14 : What kind of inks do you use in the sublimation process?
We use heat sensitive inks that turn into gas under the influence of heat, which then easily enters a 100% polyester surface.
