The Sublimation Process: Bringing Your Ideas to Life
Have you ever wondered how cool designs get printed onto things like cups, phone cases, or t-shirts? That’s all thanks to a special process called sublimation! At chicllama.com, we use this amazing technique to turn your creative ideas into awesome, customizable products. Let’s break down how it works and why it’s such a great choice.
What Is Sublimation?
Sublimation is a way of printing designs onto different items using heat and pressure. Instead of just sticking the design on top, sublimation turns special ink into gas so it can sink right into the surface. This makes the design super bright, strong, and hard to fade or scratch.
How Does Sublimation Work?
- Create Your Design- Everything starts with a digital design, like a cool pattern, your name, or your favorite quote. We use software to make it just right.
- Print the Design- Next, the design gets printed onto special sublimation paper using special ink.
- Heat and Press- The printed paper is placed on the item—like a cup or phone case—and put into a heat press. The heat turns the ink into gas, which sticks to the surface permanently.
Why Is Sublimation So Awesome?
Bright and Long-Lasting Designs- The colors stay bold and don’t peel off or fade over time.
Better for the Environment- There’s very little waste with sublimation, so it’s eco-friendly.
Works on Many Things- Sublimation can be used on hard stuff like metal and ceramic or soft stuff like polyester fabric.
