Sublimation printing is the application of sublimation inks onto a surface using a heat transfer. The process allows the ink to format from a solid to a gaseous state enabling penetration of the polymer surface, creating a full colour image.

TheMagicTouch (GB) Ltd introduces the latest in sublimation printing to compliment the existing range of transfer technologies currently available.

TheMagicTouch have linked with the world leaders and patent owners in sublimation ink, Sawgrass Technologies, and offer the range of ArTainiumŽUV+ sublimation inks as an official distributor.

Sublimation printing has been available for over 20 years, but the recent arrival of new printers and bulk ink management systems makes it affordable and viable.

The process involves using special sublimation inks and paper with a traditional inkjet printer. The printed image can then be transferred onto a selection of items using traditional heat press equipment. However, please note that all substrates and surfaces MUST have a polymer base or coating for the inks fuse properly.

The "Easy Flow" pre-filled bulk ArTainium UV+ sublimation ink system has been specifically developed for sublimation and comes complete with ICC colour profiles for accurate colour management. This ensures continuous and reliable production of transfers with reduced print cost per copy over traditional cartridges.

TheMagicTouch offer the total solution to all image transfer and dye sublimation applications.
