Dye Sublimation:
- In Dye Sublimation the ink actually “dyes” the fabric.
- Dye sublimation is a 4 color (CMYK) process print process so it can handle any number of colors of types of images.
- The print process starts always with white fabric and the colors are mixed as they print on the fabric. The background color will be dyed in the printing process.
- Most economical print processes for low volume and prints with multi-color prints.
- Dye Sublimation tablecloths are the same price no matter how many colors are in your print.
- The background color on the front panel is dyed to match the fabric color you select. See how we construct a draped tablecloth.
- Can print both high resolution raster (.jpg, .tiff) as well as vector (.ai, .eps) file.
- Very durable, machine washable.

Spot Color Screen Printing:
- In screen printing, the ink actually lays on top of the fabric.
- Screen printing mixes the ink to match your Pantone color before it is applied.
- Because the ink stays on top of the fabric, the process starts with the specific color fabric you selected.
- Most economical for high volume printing.
- Very durable, machine washable.
