Sublimation Printing That Becomes Part of the Fabric

Unlike printing methods that leave a heavy layer on top of a garment, sublimation ink bonds with polyester fibres. The fabric stays soft, light, flexible and comfortable while your artwork can cover large areas in full colour.

We can print simple logos, bright patterns, photos, names, numbers and detailed graphics. Whether you need 30 shirts for an event or a large bulk order, the goal is the same: good colour, sharp printing and a quality finished product.

Why choose sublimation?

Built for Full Colour, Detail and Comfort

Sublimation is different from printing methods that place a separate print layer on top of the garment.

01

Full-Colour Printing

Use as many colours as your artwork needs, including photos, gradients, patterns, small details and large logos.

02

No Heavy Print Layer

The ink becomes part of the polyester fibres, helping the fabric remain soft, light, flexible and breathable.

03

Detailed Designs

Small text, detailed patterns and complex artwork can look sharp when the correct artwork is supplied.

04

Large Print Areas

Print the front, back, sleeves and sides and turn the full garment into part of the design.

05

Long-Lasting Colour

Because the ink bonds with polyester fibres, the print will not peel or crack like a layer sitting on top of fabric can.

06

Ideal for Bulk Orders

A practical option for companies, schools, sports clubs, events, brands, resellers, organisations and large teams.

How it works

Our Dye Sublimation Printing Process

From artwork to delivery, the process is kept simple and focused on preparing the design correctly and checking the finished order.

Send Your Design

Send your artwork, logo or idea. Good file types include PDF, AI, EPS, PNG and high-resolution JPG.

Artwork Preparation

Your artwork is checked and prepared so the size, layout and print quality are suitable for production.

Design Is Printed

The artwork is printed onto special sublimation transfer paper using sublimation inks.

Heat Pressing

Heat and pressure are applied so the ink changes into a gas and bonds with the polyester fibres.

Quality Check

The order is checked for print quality, colour, placement, finish and overall appearance.

Frequently asked questions

Dye Sublimation Printing FAQ

Quick answers about how sublimation works and which materials are best suited to it.

What is dye sublimation printing?

Dye sublimation is a printing method used mainly on polyester. The design is printed onto special paper, then heat is used to move the ink from the paper into the polyester fibres. The result is a smooth, bright and long-lasting print.

What fabric is best for sublimation?

100% polyester normally gives the best results. Polyester blends can also work, but the final colour may look different depending on how much polyester is in the fabric. The higher the polyester content, the stronger the sublimated colour normally appears.

Can you sublimate onto cotton?

Normal dye sublimation does not work well on 100% cotton because sublimation ink needs polyester to bond correctly. For cotton T-shirts, other methods may be better, including:

  • Screen printing
  • DTF heat press printing
  • Embroidery for suitable garments

Ask us and we can help you choose the right printing method.

Can you print full-colour designs?

Yes. Sublimation allows full-colour designs and can accommodate photos, gradients, patterns, logos, names, numbers and detailed artwork.

What artwork files can I send?

Good file types include PDF, AI, EPS, PNG and high-resolution JPG. If you do not have print-ready artwork, ask the team about design help.

Do you deliver outside Johannesburg?

Yes. Collection is available from the Edenvale area, and delivery can be arranged to customers across South Africa, including Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban.
