Sublimation Printing

Sublimation printing is the way that we print all of our garments and  this is a means of permanently dyeing white fabric so that colours and  designs will never fade or affect the technical properties of the  fabric. A special sublimation ink is used, which is held in a liquid  solvent and printed onto transfer paper The ink is then transferred  from paper to fabric by heating the dye until it vaporises into a gas  which then permeates the actual fibres of the material before  re-solidifying.  The dye is actually held by the fibres and not in the  pores between the fibres.  This allows moisture vapour to pass through  the fabric without restriction as well as applying a permanent finish  to the garment.

When it comes to great cycling and athletic apparel, that’s what it’s all about. That’s why Margyn Sportswear uses custom digital for vivid designs, lasting colours and superior performance.

The Difference

 

Traditional screen printing covers the fabric with a layer of ink that can peel and fade. Instead, your design is a permanent, integral part of your apparel.

In traditional screen printing, that ink layer sits on top of the fabric, essentially “blocking its pores.”  Sublimation, because it is a part of the fabric itself, does not impede the garment’s breathability and moisture wicking characteristics.
