Dye Sublimation

Dye Sublimation, also known as transfer printing, involves printing with dyes onto transfer paper. The paper is then placed on the product and heated to a temperature sufficient to transfer the dye to the product. Popular uses include creating photographic images on clothing, tile, and mousepads.

Sites placed in this category should deal primarily with this printing process. This includes sites of trade associations, companies selling equipment and supplies, and any site providing resources about the process. In contrast, the sites of companies that use this process are not listed here; instead, each is listed in a category based on the type of product it produces.

Pigmented Archival

This is for those who specialize in pigmented inks rather than dye sublimation inks. If a vendor offers both types, choose the category that you specialize in and list both types in your description.

Pigmented inks work with cotton content material.

Pigmented inks are often also known as archival inks.
