The Advantages of Sublimated Sportswear

One of the most popular methods of printing today is called sublimation. It is probably the best method to get high-resolution images and designs printed on a shirt. There is no resolution loss when compared to the original and it is very clear. Because of this, sublimated sportswear has become a popular choice for teams in different sports.

What is Sublimation?

Normally when printing on a surface, there is usually a step that involves water or liquid. Sublimation is actually the process of turning solid into a gas without going through the liquid phase by using a chemical reaction.

In order to create sublimated sportswear, a digital printer is first needed to create the image or design onto a sublimation transfer paper with the ink. The paper is then placed onto a heat press along with the sportswear and it will be exposed to extremely high heats reaching more than 200°C.

The exposure to heat allows the ink to transfer from the paper to the material directly from solid to gas. No liquid state. 

Once the ink is in gas form, they are able to permeate the fibres of the sportswear and stay in there. After heat is removed from the equation, the ink left inside starts to solidify and is locked in permanently. 

The high heat also serves a secondary purpose where it helps open up the pores of the sportswear so that the ink can get in easily. And once the heat is removed, it closes the pores as well. This is how sublimated sportswear achieves its high-quality look and design.

Advantages of Sublimated Sportswear

There are a lot of advantages when using sublimation to print on sportswear. This is why it has become a popular choice for different sports such as darts, BMX, fishing, team racing, and many more.

Colour

As mentioned a few times already, one of the main advantages of sublimated sportswear is that it displays graphics and design like no other. It allowed for beautiful and sophisticated designs to be possible like the Storm sublimated dart shirt. 

This process can even be used to place photographs onto the sportswear.

Cost-Efficient

When you consider the amount of colour and design that sublimated sportswear can carry, this is a very good deal. Try to do the same using different methods and not only will it be more expensive, but the result would be very different as well.

Strong Print

Unlike others, sublimation is a very strong print. Because it permeates the fabric itself, it actually becomes part of the sportswear. It will not scratch off or wash off no matter how many times it goes through hand washing. This is another point why this process can be considered a cost-efficient is because it will last a long time.
