Results to Expect

Sublimation is a garment and apparel printing technique. This printing process provides all-over coverage in full color. Not only that, sublimation offers superior softness and wearability. Sublimation printing blank garments is the more economical of the two printing processes, although there are certain unavoidable limitations of sublimation printing stock garments. Cut and sew sublimation is a more involved and more expensive process of dye-sublimation — however, the end result is far higher quality

Results to Expect When Dye-Sublimation Printing Cut and Sew Apparel

Cut and sew dye-sublimation printing allows for full coverage designs and artwork.

If only sublimating the front panel of the garment, cut and sew manufacturing results in clean-edged side seams.

A dye-sublimation print does not necessarily have to cover the entire panel. It can be sized and positioned in any way.

Single-sided (e.g., front or back only) dye-sublimation prints will show the bare garment color on the non-printed side.

Areas near seams may produce smudges and blurs; creasing near the edges of the garment is also commonplace.

Designs that are planned around these unavoidable limitations can enhance the garment appearance.
