Basic Technique Of Sublimation Clothing

By John Harris


There are many advancements that have been made possible due to the embrace of technology in every sector. The apparel industry has evolved and fashion has transformed what people wear. Individuals want to express themselves even in the way they dress. There many different methods of printing and one of them is sublimation clothing. The discussion below will help you know what entails this kind of production.

This is a process which involves the bonding of ink into the fabric. This is dissimilar to having it on top as in the case of screen printing. The latter method depends on a chemical additive which is known as a binder to attach to the fabric while in the former, molecular bonding is involved. The end product is able to resist any peeling, cracking or even fading. The garment can be washed over and over and the design still remains.

The actions that are performed to fuse the images with the material are simple. The design is printed on a piece of special paper using ink and a machine. This is later reduced to the proper size and the cut paper is placed on the fabric. Heat is applied to the two of them and in the process, the image is fused. The garment feels softer and is also durable.

The action is not suitable for all textile used for manufacture of attires. The best to use are polymers and polyesters. However, some chemicals added to them can interfere making them unsuitable for use. Others may be made of a blend of fabric. The ideal blend is one which has a fifty percent composition of suitable material. Due to the high temperature applied, cotton and wool should not be used.

Color is important when printing to obtain the best result. White is suitable but when selected, it should not be part of the customized design. Other colors can be used and will replace the white if the image has included it. However, there are limitations involved such that they might fade if their dye was set at a lower temperature than that of the heat press. Testing should be done prior to printing.

There are two categories of procedures which are spot and allover printing respectively. Spot system is cheaper to use and is the most common. The graphic is printed on the transfer paper and afterward its discarded when the action is over. Its usually smaller than the paper used since the edges are not utilized.

All over system is different from the previous method. Larger equipment is needed since the graphics are also large. It involves covering the attire with decorations from the top to bottom. The equipment used are also larger making it costlier. With it, you can obtain patterns which cannot be gotten from spot system.

To conclude, apparel decorations can be achieved effectively with this method. Its not applicable on everything and the best choices should be made to get the ideal graphics with the right machinery.
