what is a sublimation printer

A sublimation printer is designed to transfer artwork to an object in a gas state using a high-temperature heat press. It is used for sublimation printing, which involves transferring motifs to various materials such as t-shirts and ceramic mugs. This method of printing is known for its versatility and ability to produce high-quality, vibrant prints on a wide range of products. Sublimation printers work by infusing the image onto the source printing paper and then using heat to transfer the image from the sublimation paper to an object. They are typically used to personalize products such as clothing, decorations, home décor, and kitchen utensils. Sublimation printing offers the advantage of being quick and simple to complete, and it allows for printing on rigid surfaces and choosing from an unlimited range of colors. However, a disadvantage is that it can only be used on fabric made of 100% polyester
