I-Sub Limited is pleased to introduce you to the new Pictaflex Full Wrap 3D Dye Sublimation process, which has been developed in conjunction with ICI plc.

What is unique about the 'Pictaflex' process?

Unlike the current traditional Dye Sublimation processes, where you are limited to printing to flat substrates, the Pictaflex process enables you to decorate with a full colour design or photographic quality image to non flat substrates, which opens up almost infinite end product possibilities.

How does the Pictaflex process work?

The process is simple to use and involves inkjet printing onto the Pictaflex film with the Pictaflex ink. Once this is done, the printed image on the film is instantly dry. The printed film is placed into the heatpress, with the substrate, and the machine is closed. The sublimation transfer cycle, which is between 90 and 180 seconds, commences. Once the cycle is completed, the film, which has been vacuum wrapped around the substrate, is removed leaving the substrate permanently imaged.
