At Wordans, we pride ourselves on our ability to bring you the best products at the best possible prices, including sublimation t-shirts. In a world where standing out is increasingly desirable, many customers are looking for clothing adorned with unique designs, and sublimation t-shirts certainly fit that description.
Sublimation is the process of printing designs on fabric. The process involves the use of heat and pressure to imprint dye on your fabric of choice. The difference between sublimation and screen printing is that the former infuses the dye into the fabric while the latter lays the print on top of the fabric. As a result, sublimation t-shirts ar of a better and longer-lasting quality. During the process of sublimation, the ink changes from its solid state to a gas without liquifying, enabling the ink to penetrate and settle on the fibres of the fabric.
The end product is detailed imprints that are visible but that you can’t feel when you run your palm across the print. With sublimation, there’s no concern for prints peeling, wearing, or washing out, unlike screen printing. Similarly, sublimation is less cumbersome than vinyl and screen printing, which requires you to layer multiple screens for multi-colour prints. With sublimation, you can transfer multi-coloured images onto our cheap t-shirts with a single use of a heat press. While the process produces high-quality results, anyone familiar with sublimation knows that the quality of the prints depends on the quality of the blank fabric on which the designs are imprinted.
