Sublimation socks are socks that have designs permanently printed onto them using a sublimation printing technique, where heat and pressure are applied to transfer ink into the fabric at a molecular level, resulting in vibrant and durable colors that won't fade or peel off.
Key points about sublimation socks:
Benefits:
-
Vibrant colors: Sublimation inks produce very vivid and high-quality colors.
-
Process:
- A design is created digitally and printed onto special sublimation transfer paper.
- The transfer paper is then placed against the fabric (the sock in this case) and heated under pressure using a heat press.
-
The ink turns into a gas under heat, permeating the fabric fibers and creating a permanent bond
