Dye Sublimation Fabric Printing
Here at HD Print, we pride ourselves on offering high-quality, Australian-made digitally printed fabric and manufactured products. Through our processes, we are able to print designs/images that are embedded into the fabric as opposed to printed on top of the fabric. The Dye Sublimation Printing process allows textiles to be printed with superior colour vibrancy without changing the “hand” of the substrate; in other words, the fabric feels the same after printing. Additionally, the fabric can be washed and reused because the dye is permanent.
Our dye sublimation printing services are virtually endless. Whether you are looking for bulk orders or low minimums orders, we can help you with a hassle free set-up and fast turnaround. We can also assist with manufacturing quality Australian Made products. Reach out to us for a free quote or contact us to begin printing today!

About Sublimation
What is Sublimation Printing?
The definition of sublimation is a chemical process where a solid turns into a gas without going through the liquid stage, this applies to sublimation printing too.
Sublimation is possible with any design that you desire. The design that you’ve created will be transferred to special sublimation transfer paper using a digital printer and sublimation inks. The sublimation paper is then transferred to your fabric of of choice (must be made of 100% polyester), via a heat press. The inks then turn into a gas state and sink into (permeate) the fibres of the garment. This is because the heat releases the sublimation inks from the transfer paper, at the same time as opening the pores of the fabric. In a gas state, the inks permeate the fabric through the open pores. When the heat press is removed, the gas turns into a solid and the pores close, trapping the inks inside the fabrics, creating a design that will not crack, fade or peel from the garment.
When Should you use Sublimation Printing?
Sublimation is best used on 100% polyester white fabrics, natural fibres will not work with this printing process. Sublimation is used for all-over dye applications as the colours are bold and long-lasting. These all-over dye applications are perfect if you want to stand out in a crowd or simply love a top but want to change its colour.
Sublimation printing is commonly used for fashion, interior design, soft homewares, photography and promotional event signage. There is no minimum or maximum order needed to make sublimation printing viable; you can simply print a design onto one t-shirt or create hundreds for an event or your own fashion line.
