Sublimation
Modern technology has started to revolutionize the sports side of t-shirts. Man made materials like polyester offer Dry-Fit garments that give the advantage of clothing that can breathe, with the added characteristic of not absorbing sweat. This prevents them from becoming wet, heavy and uncomfortable to wear.
But from the point of view of a t-shirt printer it creates a problem. If the image is multi-coloured or has a soft edge, you cannot use DTG. DTG needs at least an 50% cotton mix of material for the dye to bind properly.
The solution is a clever product called Sublimation which creates a chemical reaction with the synthetic material and permanently dyes it. There are only a few companies like Crisp that can provide this product, but it is very handy to know you can still put sophisticated designs on Dry-Fit clothing.
