What
is Dye Sublimation and Screen Printing
DYE SUBLIMATION
Dye sublimation printed tablecloths
- 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 process 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 drape 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.

Dye Sublimation and Screen Print will look very similar..The
difference would be the feel. You can feel the screen print ink thickness
on top of the fabric. Since the dye sub actually dyes the fabric you cannot
feel the thickness of the print.
