So whether you are brand new to printing as a whole and are looking to start up a small business from scratch, an artist or designer that wants to take production into your own hands rather than out-sourcing it or even a veteran printing expert but just want to expand into sublimation we have everything you need to get started and the biggest range of sublimation blanks available in the UK!
Sublimation printing is a revolutionary technique that can transform any design into a stunning and vibrant print on a wide range of surfaces, from fabrics to ceramics and even metals.
The process involves printing your design onto a special transfer paper using sublimation ink, which is then transferred onto the final product using heat and pressure. The result is a permanent and high-quality print that won't fade or crack over time. Because the ink is infused into the surface rather than sitting on top, the finished product will have a soft, smooth finish that looks and feels amazing.
Sublimation printing is perfect for creating custom products such as t-shirts, mugs, phone cases, and much more. It's also great for businesses looking to create promotional materials or branded merchandise, as the technique allows for full-color printing with incredible detail and accuracy.
Whether you're looking to create one-of-a-kind products for your business, or simply want to add a personal touch to your own belongings, sublimation printing is the way to go. With its superior quality and durability, your designs will look amazing for years to come.
