September 04 2010 - Welcome to Sublimation Category. Banners, hanging dividers, signs, flags, backdrops and posters, along with many other marketing devices, can be created on fabric with sublimation. In dye sublimation, heat–reactive dyes are printed onto a coated transfer paper. When these dyes are heated, they vaporize and permeate the surface objects before it returns to solid form. The result is an image, that doesn’t fade or wear, crack, peel or wash away. Sublimation printing allows you to create highly customizable images on an ever changing basis.
