The
dye sublimation process uses a heat activated sublimation dye dissolved
in a liquid to print graphics and text onto a special inkjet paper
called a dye sub transfer. The dye sub transfer and the target item are
placed in a heat press. During the heating cycle, the sublimation dye
is evaporated quickly to a gas (sublimation) and then returning
directly to a solid after penetrating the adjacent pores of the
polymerized surface of the target item. The image surface is smooth to
the touch, because the infused gases penetrate the polymer surface
under pressure before cooling and turning back into to solids. To learn
