The sublimation process, in the digital printing sector, is the transformation that the inks undergo when, coming into contact with heat, they transform into gas (sublimate) and are stably joined to the polyester surface. Sublimation is achieved thanks to inkjet printers equipped with sublimation inks, using a special sublimation paper.

After this, the ink received from the paper is transferred to the receiving surface using a special calender or press. This technology is widespread above all to customize polyester fabric, pre-treated polyester and nylon materials used to create many applications for visual communication, interior design, objects, fashion and sports clothing.
