Meaning of Sublimation Paper

Sublimation paper is a specialized coated paper designed for heat transfer printing. It works by transferring sublimation inks onto surfaces such as fabrics, ceramics, or metals through heat and pressure. This process produces vivid, durable, and high-resolution images, making it a vital material in digital textile printing, custom apparel, home décor, and promotional merchandise. Sublimation papers are valued for their color accuracy, transfer efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, positioning them as indispensable tools in modern printing and personalization industries.
