Dye Sublimation Printing

NYC Flag Repair is equipped with a state of the art Roland Texart RT-640 Dye-Sublimation Printer.

A dye–sublimation printer is a computer printer which uses heat to transfer dye onto materials such as a plastic, card, paper, or fabric. The sublimation name was first applied because the dye was considered to make the transition between the solid and gas states without going through a liquid stage.

Advantages of dye-sublimation over other methods of textile printing:^[5]

• Images are permanent and do not peel or fade.
• Dye does not build up on the fabric.
• Colors can be extraordinarily brilliant due to the bonding of the dye to the transparent fibers of the synthetic fabric.
• Truly continuous tones can be achieved that are equivalent to photographs, without the use special techniques such as half-screen printing.
• The image can be printed all over the entire item, with no difficulty in printing all the way to the edges.
