Whether you are already in the Dye-Sublimation business or about to embark on a

new venture it is important to understand the basic science behind dye-sublimation.

Dye: to impregnate colour into a material. Many times this colour change is

permanent.

Sublimation: a change directly from the solid to a gas without becoming liquid.

Dye-Sublimation: Solid dye particles are changed into gas using heat and

pressure, then bond with any polyester polymers present, and change back into a

solid.

Many people think that the dye sublimation process is a new technology but this is

certainly not the case. Originating in the 1950's, dye sublimation technology has in

recent times been revolutionised by its application with digital inkjet printing

technology. When invented it was found that synthetic fabrics such as polyester

could not be coloured with the dying process used with natural fibres such as wool

and cotton.

The process developed to colour synthetic fabrics was to place special dyes on a

paper using screen print technology. This paper was then placed on the fabric in a

heat press. When heat is applied to the dyes it goes from a solid to a gas without

going through a liquid state, a bit like dry ice. The vaporised dye sublimates into the

open pores of the fabric and when the heat is removed the dye solidifies thus dyeing

it on a permanent microscopic basis. Any polyester garments such as football

jumpers, swimwear, kids pyjamas etc. are all coloured by this dye sublimation

process.

The big moment was when the dyes have been refined to a stage that they can now

be passed through the nozzles of standard ink-jet technology. This eliminated the

cost prohibitive set up associated with traditional screen printing. This process was

patented by Sawgrass Technologies Inc. worldwide, including Australia, USA and

Europe.

Beside its traditional use on synthetic fabric, dye sublimation can be used to

decorate on a vast and growing array of polyester coated products. These coated

items include ceramics, metal, wood, jewellery, clocks, coasters, mats, name

badges to name a few.

Custom Products As Easy at Create, Print and Press!

Create! Create or import your artwork using a graphic program, like CorelDRAW® or Adobe® PhotoShop®.

Print! Print your image using ArTainium® UV+ or SubliJet-R® sublimation inks, a standard Epson® or

Ricoh® printer and high quality sublimation paper.

Press! Using a standard flatbed or mug heat press, transfer the image onto a wide variety of substrates.

Introduction into Dye-Sublimation

Key Points to remember:

+ Substrate MUST have a

polyester coating or

content.

+ Substrate MUST be heat

resistant to 200C. All

Why can’t I sublimate dark material?

Dye-sublimation inks are water based inks, therefore they are transparent when they are pressed. If you try press

onto a dark substrate you will not see anything, if you try press onto a gold substrate the gold will show through,

slightly changing your colours. Think about when you go to do a slideshow on a projector - you need a white wall.

This is the same theory as with dye-sublimation. You need to have a white base to enable the colours to be true. The

only way you can print an image onto a dark garment is using the PromaSubFLOCK. This is a thin white vinyl that

you heat press onto and then cut out and press onto your garment. The Flock provides the white base.

Why can’t I sublimate onto cotton?

Dye-Sublimation is designed to bond to polyester fibres and ignore everything else. When it comes to garments and

fabric blends we recommend a minimum of 65% polyester, but remember because the ink will only penetrate the

polyester, the less polyester in your fabric the less quality image you will have. And also remember it has to be light

coloured.

If it only works with polyester then why can I print onto glass and ceramics?

If the substrate is not a polyester fabric then it has been sprayed with a polyester coating. All of the products Power

Digital supplies come pre-coated. We only source products with a good quality coating, as with everything there are

varying qualities of coating and this can effect the longevity of the print as well as the durability. Power Digital also

stocks a range of coatings that you can spray yourself. Remember not all products will be suited for the press, either

because of their size, shape or resilience to heat.

What about plastics?

You can’t sublimate onto just any piece of plastic. Many polymers cannot withstand the amount of heat needed to do

the sublimation part of the process, and if they can stand the heat what’s going to happen when you add some

pressure and time? Many of them melt and shrink. FRP (Fibre Reinforced Plastic) is what all of the plastics supplied

by Power Digital are made from.

Who are Sawgrass Technologies?

Sawgrass Technologies, Inc. is a specialty chemical research company developing innovative vertical market

solutions with patented digital transfer imaging technology. By combining leading-edge digital ink products with

advanced colour management software, Sawgrass has developed state–of–the–art systems for high-quality colour

printing of personalized and customised images onto a wide variety of surfaces. These technologies enable

customers to create, manage, and deliver visually rich products by harnessing the power of digital printing.

Did Sawgrass invent inkjet sublimation printing?

Prior to the mid–1990's, a commercially viable/stable inkjet sublimation ink was not available in the market. There

were unsuccessful attempts to sell sublimation inks for use in inkjet printers. These inks however tended to quickly

settle out and could not be printed for more than a few hours without permanently damaging the print heads.

Sawgrass' first solution for the problems encountered with inkjet sublimation was a wax thermal sublimation printer

product released in the early 1990's. Shortly after the successful release of wax thermal sublimation printing

technology, Sawgrass began development of inkjet sublimation inks resulting in it's first release in 1996. This

innovation was awarded U.S. and International Patents.

How does Sawgrass protect itself from companies that infringe on its patents?

Sawgrass owns patents covering the manufacture, printing, and application of sublimation inks used with inkjet

printers and has invested over $10 million into the development of this proprietary technology. There are companies

currently selling sublimation inks into the market that are believed to infringe on Sawgrass patents. The companies

supplying these inks are aware of Sawgrass patent claims and of their products patent infringement. They wilfully

choose to sell them for their financial gain in disregard of existing patents.

Sawgrass always seeks a business solution to this type of conflict but must ultimately rely on Federal Courts to en-

force the patent law and force such suppliers to stop selling patent infringing inks into the marketplace.

There are two main Graphics Software programs used in

the digital printing industry.

Graphics Software: is a program used for

importing, editing and creating images

using your PC. An ICC compliant graphics

software is essential for dye-sublimation.

The most popular program for dye-

sublimation users is CorelDraw

Graphics Suite. This is because of it

ease of use, applications and

features. It is used by the novice

through to the graphic artist. It is

ideal for simple graphic design,

layout and output.

The other common software used

for dye-sublimation is Adobe

PhotoShop. This is generally used

by the more advanced users as it is

focused towards editing and

manipulating images, with the

layout being a little more in-depth.

If you are new to the world of graphics, AGS

recommends (and sells) CorelDraw.

When a dye-sublimation transfer sheet is pressed onto a substrate the ink turns into

a gas to bond to the polymers of the substrate. During this ‘gassing’ certain colours

will ‘shift’ so the finished product will not look like the original.

Colour Correction: is the art of correcting this colour

transformation so that you can produce the best quality results

on your substrate.

A colour profile or ICC (International Colour Consortium) is developed using three

key elements - the printer, the ink and the paper. If one of these elements is change

then this will effect the accuracy and outcome of the profile. To use this profile you

must work with an ICC compliant graphics software such as CorelDraw or

PhotoShop. The profile will be placed in the output stage of printing and the

Manufacturers printer drive will be set to ‘No Colour Adjustment’. This will embed the

profile into the image as it is sent to the printer and the printer driver will ‘transparent’.

All printing systems supplied by AGS Power Digital are sold with ICC Profiles*.

Substrate: is a term used in printing, mainly industrial printing, to describe the base material that images will be printed onto. There are hundreds of different products available that fall into these categories: Fabrics: including t-shirts, neoprene products such as mouse mats and stubby coolers, flags, patches and more. Coated Ceramics: including mugs, tiles, ornaments, jars, bowls and more. Coated Metals: including name plates, plaques, coasters, keyrings and more. Coated Woods: including plaques, coasters, place mats, jigsaws and more. Coated Glass: including cutting boards, plaques, coasters and more. FRP: including name plates, shapes, door hangers, coasters and more.

When you are making the investment of a new venture, you want to ensure you get the right equipment for your

needs. The most common questions please first ask is ‘What is the right printer for me?’. We wish there was a simple

answer, but as not everyone needs are the same, there is no one printer that will suit everyone.

Your Choice:

Firstly you will need to determine what products you are wanting to produce, and also consider what you will be

wanting to do in the future. You don't want to start off with an A4 printer with the view of printer A3 sized bags.

Secondly, you will need to consider what features and quality you want. Will it be photographic quality or just simple

spot colour text and graphics.

The final thing to consider is the ink configuration, do you have a preference over cartridge or bulk ink? Generally

cartridges are commonly used for the lower production end users and the bulk ink for the higher production, this is

mainly because of their costs factors. But as said above, not everyone is the same.

Like everything, all printers have their strengths and weaknesses and these will be review in the following:

Ink Configurations:

Cartridges: These are a replaceable ‘one-life’ consumable. Cartridges come in different sizes depending on the

printer model. A cartridge configuration is generally thought to be a more expensive way of printer as your ink costs

are increased, however the maintenance costs are decreased compared to a bulk ink system. A cartridge system is

ideal if you a intending for smaller production scale with intermittent print cycles.

Why Choose?

+ Ease of use + No filling inks + Easily transportable

+ No mess or fuss + No tubes or lines + Hassle free installation

Bulk Ink: Also known as CISS (Continuous Ink Supply Systems) is an external ink supply system. This features clear

plastic lines that run from the bulk ink reservoirs into the cartridge assembly in the printer. Most bulk ink systems will

contain around 125ml of each colour ink. Bulk Ink systems are generally considered to be a more cost effective way

of printing as purchasing the ink in bulk is cheaper. This is also more suited for a medium to higher end production

user as the bulk ink systems needs to be used more regularly to keep them maintained.

Why Choose?

+ Cheaper print costs + Clear bottles for easy monitoring

+ No mess or fuss + Quick installation + High use quality

Continuous crop mark detection to cut

printed matter

By detecting continuous crop marks

on the printed matter, complex contour

cuts of shapes will be continuously

made, making individual adjustments

automatically. By detecting a

maximum of 4 points, cutting is made

with high accuracy while minimizing

distortion at the time of printing and

laminating. Also, a light pointer

enables to make position adjustment

of crop marks easily.

Half Cut Function

With our own half cut function, the

backing sheet can be cut leaving a

little bit of half cut connecting points,

which can be easily detached when

necessary. Various media without

backing sheets can also be cut.
