The term “sublimation” refers to the process of a solid substance transforming into a gaseous substance without passing through a liquid stage.  We use the term “sublimation” to refer to a decorating process.   

Here are the typical steps in the sublimation decorating process: Choose the image and item you will be decorating.  Usually you need to edit an image or graphic in a program such as Adobe Photoshop, Corel Draw, or Sawgrass Creative Suite to size the image to the item you are decorating.  The blank you are decorating must have a special polymer sublimation coating or be made of an appropriate plastic material like polyester. 

• Print the image onto transfer paper using sublimation inks.  You need to use color profiles and print drivers specific to the inks and printer you are using to get accurate color reproduction of you original image.  Transfer paper is different from standard copier paper in the way inks sit on top of the transfer paper surface, rather than being absorbed into the paper, when the image is printed.  This will allow more inks to be transferred from the paper to the sublimation coating giving you bolder more vivid printed colors.
