All Over Sublimation Printing

All Over Sublimation Printing is the process that custom garment printers use to create the vivid, all over prints that you see on urban shirts in retail locations and on street corners.  The process of All Over Sublimation Printing relies on polyester fabrics, dye sublimation inks and industrial heat and pressure.  The results of All Over Sublimation Printing are nothing short of stunning.  Vivid colors, photo realistic printing, crisp edges and very high resolution details are all to be expected when using custom dye sublimation printing.

As a provider of custom garment decoration services that include : All Over Sublimation Printing, Over Sized Screen Printing, Jumbo Screen Printing, Embroidery, DTG “Direct To Garment” Printing and Cut and Sew, AMBRO Manufacturing is a highly qualified and experienced All Over Sublimation Printing specialist.

Custom Dye Sublimation Printing should not be confused with oversized or jumbo screen printing.  Screen printing uses inks that lay on top of the fabrics being decorated.  All Over Sublimation Printing fuses dyes into the fabric directly.  When running your hand over the top of the item being decorated you can not feel the design.

Polyester fabrics are used to create the Custom Dye Sublimation Printing effect.  High poly blends that include at least 70% polyester can also be used, and polyester family members like Nylon, Rayon, Satin, Spandex and others can also be used to achieve a high quality All Over Sublimation Printing result.

Sublimation printing is done either in a cut and sew environment or in a post sewn, existing T-Shirt environment.  Each process has pluses and minuses that you should discuss with a sublimation expert like AMBRO Manufacturing.

As a contract garment, textile and fabric decorator with over 30 years of experience, AMBRO Manufacturing has expert skills in the area of Sublimation Print.  A Sublimation Print is a special type of garment or fabric decoration that makes use of specialized sublimation dyes, industrial heat and some design finesse.

Products that you see every day out and about are designed and produced using the technology of the Sublimation Print.  Things like Competition Bicycle Jerseys, Yoga Pants, Biker Shorts and Sports Bras are all embellished using Sublimation Print technology.

The process of creating a Sublimation Print is both scientific and artistic.  The science behind a quality Sublimation Print involved synthetic fabrics like polyester, spandex, satin, rayon, nylon etc … and custom dye sublimation inks that turn to vapor at a specific temperature, to then cool down and solidify within fabric fibers.

The art behind the Sublimation Print comes from brilliantly colored designs, vivid images, crisp corners, smooth curves and the know how on exactly how to piece all of that together to produce an amazing work of art that can be worn on a T-Shirt, Hoodie or other garment.

Most Sublimation Print work done today is done in a cut and sew environment.  This is a production process where panels of fabric are cut, dye sublimated and then sewn into the finished garment.  This type of production method ensures that everything on the garment from seam to seam is decorated with the design.  This method of Sublimation Print is preferred.

The secondary method of Sublimation Print involves the use of already completed garments, i.e. hoodies, T-Shirts or tanks that are already sewn into the finished product.  Experienced Sublimation Printing contractors can still decorate these garments with a high degree of success.

Using Sublimation Printing on already sewn garments will have some nuances that need to be accepted, and talking with a sublimation expert can help you understand what to expect.

As a contract decorator located in New Jersey, AMBRO Manufacturing has more than 30 years of garment, textile and fabric decorating experience, including creating Dye Sublimation Shirts.

Using special artwork, 30 years of experience, specialty inks, industrial heat and pressure and creative coolness, AMBRO Manufacturing can help convert your artwork into a walking billboard worn on your person.

Dye Sublimation Shirts are a great way to launch your brand or bolster an existing brand.  The professional finish of each shirt will amaze you and your customers.  Using Dye Sublimation it is possible to cover nearly the entire shirt front and back with design.  There are a few areas under the arm pits and potentially near seams that may not receive they dye, but they are hardly noticed.

When compared to the cost of custom cut and sew applications, custom dye sublimation on existing T-Shirts is the best option for most companies and fashion entrepreneurs.

If you are considering a Dye Sublimation Shirts project, you may want to consider speaking with the sublimation experts at AMBRO Manufacturing before beginning your project.  Early design considerations can save you money and frustrations down the line during production.  While the flexibility of using custom dye sublimation printing is endless, there are some practical considerations that you will need to figure out in advance, well before beginning your project.

There is often confusion on the type of printing used to accomplish the look of All Over Print Shirts.  There are essentially 3 methods of achieving an all over print shirts look, and two of the three methods can be accomplished on existing garments.

All Over Print Shirts

Method #1

The most popular method today for producing All Over Print Shirts is the use of custom Dye Sublimation Printing.  This process involves the use of an already sewn T-Shirt that is completely white and made out of 100% polyester, high poly blends like 80/20 or 70/30 or made with polyester family members like: Spandex, Nylon, Satin, Rayon etc …

Sublimation T Shirt Printing will enable a designer to create a T-Shirt design that can be printed on the neck, sleeves, waist, front and back of a T-Shirt.  Using specialized dye sublimation inks and industrial heat and pressure, designs are fused into the fabic of the T-Shirt.  The result is eye popping colors, crisp edges, photo realism and a no-feel design.  Since the inks are dyed into the fabric, there is no feel to the design, it as if the shirt were manufactured that way during the fabric creation stage.

Method #2

Using special screen printing equipment that is designed to print all over the face of a T-Shirt, specialty garment, textile and clothing companies like AMBRO Manufacturing can provide All Over Print Shirts services using screen printing.  Most people think that sublimation or patterned fabrics are the only way to achieve and all over print shirts look, this isn’t true.  Jumbo Screen Printing or Over Sized Screen Printing can produce an amazing effect and accomplish printing on post sewn T-Shirts.  This print can extend on the sleeves, neck, T-Shirt Wrap Around Printing and down to the waist.  Front and back printing can be accomplished as well.

Method #3

The final method of accomplishing an All Over Print Shirts look is to use custom patterned fabrics.  This can only be accomplished in a true cut and sew project and requires that the shirts be manufactured to your specifications.

Not too many garment, textile of fabric decoration methods will upstage the wow factor of a custom Sublimation Print.  Using polyester fabrics to make Dresses, T-Shirts, Socks or other items, designers can produce amazing all over prints using the process of custom Sublimation Print.

Sublimation Print

Designing cool cloths requires a special talent that involves vision, fashion sense and a sense of adventure.  Patterns and solid colors are cool, but using a Sublimation Print is cooler.

Polyester, Rayon, Nylon, Satin and Spandex can all accept a Sublimation Print well.  Even fabrics that contain cotton can be used, as long as the polyester content doesn’t drop below 70%.

The technology behind a Sublimation Print involves specialized dye sublimation inks, graphic design, polyester and industrial heat.  Once artwork is prepared, it is first output on special wide format industrial printers, this output is printed on specially coated papers and then transferred with heat and pressure to the fabric.

Unlike screen printing where the design is printed using inks that lay on top of the fabric, custom Sublimation Print technology fuses the design into the fibers of the fabric.  The design is converted from the sold ink that it begins as into a gas and back into pigment in the fabric.

When wearing a garment that was created with a Sublimation Print, the person wearing it can not feel the design on the inside or outside, it as if the fabric were created that way from the start.

Most Sublimation Print projects are done in a cut and sew shop where panels of fabric are cut, sublimated, edge to edge, then sewn together into a finished garment.  But with advances in Sublimation Print technology, it is possible to sublimate on already sewn items with a very high degree of success.
