without going through a liquid state. It is a change in the state of a substance when the temperature and pressure
are lower than the triple point.

So what materials do you need to prepare for the sublimation process?
1. desktop printer or large format sublimation inkjet printer
2. sublimation ink
3. sublimation transfer paper
4. calender machine or flat heat press machine
5. white polyester fabric，substrate

What’s the sublimation process?
Please use your digital printer to print sublimation paper with sublimation ink,
After the paper is completely dry, please use the heat press machine to do the transfer.
And then you will get the finished sublimated clothes.
