In the world of custom apparel, few techniques can match the vibrant, high-quality results of all-over sublimation printing. At KS Knitwear, we specialize in bringing your creative visions to life with cutting-edge sublimation technology. But what exactly is all-over sublimation, and why is it the perfect choice for your knitwear needs? This guide dives deep into the process, benefits, and how we make your designs stand out.
What Is All-Over Sublimation Printing?
All-over sublimation is a digital printing process that allows for seamless, full-coverage designs on garments. Unlike traditional screen printing or embroidery, sublimation fuses ink directly into the fabric, ensuring:
Vivid Colors: Designs that pop with stunning vibrancy.
Durability: Prints that won’t crack, fade, or peel over time.
Breathable Finish: Since the ink becomes part of the fabric, the texture remains soft and smooth.
This method is particularly ideal for polyester fabrics, making it a perfect match for the high-quality knitwear products we offer.
The Sublimation Process
Here’s how we transform your ideas into custom apparel masterpieces:
Design Creation:
Our skilled designers work with you to develop patterns, graphics, or logos that align with your brand.
We ensure the design fits perfectly across the garment with no gaps or misalignments.
Printing on Transfer Paper:
Your finalized design is printed onto special sublimation transfer paper using eco-friendly, water-based inks.
Heat Press Application:
The transfer paper is aligned with the fabric, and high heat and pressure are applied.
The heat turns the ink into gas, which then penetrates the fibers of the fabric.
Final Inspection:
Every piece undergoes a rigorous quality check to ensure flawless printing and fabric integrity.
