Sublimation printing is a digital printing technology that uses heat to transfer dye onto materials such as fabric, metal, plastic, and ceramic. The sublimation process involves printing an image onto special sublimation paper using sublimation ink, and then transferring the image onto the desired material using a heat press. This process creates a permanent, full-color image that is resistant to fading, peeling, and cracking.
The best printers for sublimation are those that are specifically designed for this type of printing. These printers typically have a high-resolution print head that can produce sharp, detailed images. They also have a consistent ink flow that helps to prevent banding and other print defects. In addition, the best sublimation printers are able to handle a variety of media types, including both light and dark fabrics.
