How does Sublimation Station work?
The Sublimation station prints using a special sublimation ink. This ink is printed onto a special paper that when heated releases the ink in a gas form, transferring it to the item it is pressed against. (ex: Mug, Hat, Plaque, T-Shirt, etc.)
Can the Sublimation Station print onto anything?
The Sublimation Station ink is designed to transfer to 100% Polyester or a 50/50 Blend of fabric. When transferring to ceramic, metal or plastic, the material needs to have a special coating that allows the ink to attach to it. If you can think of it, we most likely have the item ready for sublimation printing available.
