About Sublimation Inks
Sublimation Ink is a specialised product used for printing images onto garments or sublimation treated products (i.e. mugs). Once an image is printed onto 'sublimation paper' the image is transfered using a heat press. The application of heat and pressure causes the dyes in the image to convert to a gas. The heat applied to the object being printed causes the 'pores' of the object to open. Rapid removal of the heat causes these 'pores' to close and the gas (now trapped in the 'pores') converts back to a solid, leaving the coloured image. These sublimation inks are suitable for use in any Epson Inkjet or Brother inkjet printer as they use an elecronic print head system (Piezo). They are not suitable for use in HP or Canon printers, which use a thermal style head that can cause the ink to sublimate within the head.
