The process of Dye sublimation printing has been around since the 1950’s, mainly used in commercial applications at that time, it produced glossy low-resolution prints not suited for fine art or photography reproduction.
Today, however, this technology supports archival, high-resolution prints suitable for fine art and photography.
How It Works
This process starts with a unique inkjet print on transfer paper, that is placed in a high-temperature (up to 400˚F) heat press along with the coated material of your choice. Pressure is then put on the print and material causing the ink transfer into the coating of the article. These pieces can stand alone with an easel-back, or be framed or braced for hanging
We are very excited about the possible applications of these prints which have an attractive dimensional quality not seen in the traditional giclee prints, while also being durable, lightfast and archival.
