Sublimation printing

Sublimation printing has been around for many years, but the technology has moved on from messy bulk ink systems and voided printer warranties to the current Sawgrass system using high-spec desktop printers and contained cartridges.

Rather than a print that sits on the surface, the magic of sublimation is due to specialist ink and transfer paper that permeates into the material, producing stunning, long-lasting results.

Sublimation is popular in schools thanks to the professional technology allowing students to create finished products from their designs in quick time. It is also often used outside of the classroom to create school merchandise for commemorative occasions which can be bought by students and families, raising funds, and covering running costs.
