Sublimation printing: a revolution in textile advertising

[jrineakter]

What is sublimation printing?
In simple terms, sublimation is a printing process that uses heat to transfer ink in the form of a gas directly onto the material. Once there, the pigment solidifies again, becoming permanently integrated into the object to be personalized.

Unlike other printing methods, such as screen printing or inkjet printing, sublimation does not print on the surface, but fuses it . This results in prints with intense colors denmark telegram mobile phone number list and fine details that appear to be part of the object rather than just on it.

In this sense, sublimation printing on polyester fabrics offered by Oedim is a solution that combines quality and durability. This process allows textiles to be machine washed at 30 degrees without affecting the integrity of the print, remaining in good condition for up to two years outdoors and an indefinite useful life indoors.

The technique also uses water-based dispersion inks and the material is then passed through a calender that thermally fixes the inks, guaranteeing intense colours and unrivalled sharpness. In addition, it is possible to work on pieces from 40 x 40 cm to 300 x 1000 cm in a single piece, with resolutions of up to 1,440 dpi in CMYK format.

On the other hand, the resulting textiles are highly functional. This is because their matte finishes eliminate reflections, they are semi-elastic and can be easily stretched over frames. Also, their resistance to rubbing and washing , together with their ability to not leave fingerprints or stains, make them a very practical option. Finally, being fireproof , they offer additional safety in both indoor and outdoor applications.

An ecological and responsible approach
Textile sublimation printing stands out not only for its technical quality, but also for its commitment to the environment. Unlike previous technologies, such as solvent-based printing, which generated toxic gases and harmful waste, this technique uses water-based, eco-friendly inks . These inks are odorless, completely flexible and free of hazardous components, thus minimizing environmental impact .

Likewise, the fabrics used are biodegradable , PVC-free and environmentally friendly. In addition, as we have mentioned above, being fireproof, they meet high safety and sustainability standards. All of this helps to reduce waste generation, reinforcing the commitment to protecting the planet.

But that's not all, the textiles are made with specialised equipment that ensures an impeccable finish. Double-needle and triple-feed machines allow for the precise integration of elements such as silicone, sheaths, tapes, Velcro and eyelets, ensuring impeccable results that meet the demands of the most discerning customers.
