What is Dye-Sublimation?
Dye-Sublimation is otherwise known as heat transfer printing is essentially a method of printing umbrellas and other items digitally via panels to allow products to have vibrant designs, patterns and colours.
Printing is transferred to the bag in this example, using dye-sublimation inks onto the surface using a heat press providing a perfect mix of the heat, pressure, and time to create sharp visual effects.
During this process, the inks are one colour at a time, are converted from a solid-state to that of a gaseous one which allows for the printing ink molecules to completely penetrate materials such as polyester and polymer-coated materials to create permanent full-colour printing inside and outside in the case of the umbrella.
