what is dye sublimation printing textile flag material
Flags printed with the dyesublimation process combine the best of both worlds. You get the richness in color from silk-screening with the photographic abilities of digital printing. Your artwork is initially printed onto transfer paper with the reverse image of your final graphic. Then, the image is transferred with a heat press onto polyester fabric at temperatures hitting 375° F. While the fabric is heated under this high temperature and pressure, the dyes turn into gases which permeate and solidify into the flag's fibers. The design is now permanently fixed so it can be washed without risk of damaging the image's quality.
There are generally no minimum ordering requirements for dye sublimated flags, but the reverse side will display about 15% lighter. We offer 8 day lead times for dye sub flags, so if you're under the gun and need a custom-printed flag fast, we can help!
