Dye Sublimation
For dye sublimation transfer paper, fabrics historically had to be white or light in color. 100% polyester, poly/cotton mix (the garment should be at least 50% poly) microfibre and nylon can all be used. This printing process turns solid ink into a gas, avoiding a liquid stage. This process can be used on ceramic, wood, glass, or metal as long as they have a polymer coating.
Transfer papers now exist for common material and for elastic fabric materials, such as sportsware and swimming suits and for all kinds of fabrics including natural fiber fabric such as cotton, silk, linen, wool.
