SMALL FORMAT DYE SUBLIMATION
I-Sub is pleased to offer desktop based Dye sublimation printing systems. These start with our entry level systems that comprise of a small format printer, typically A4 or A3, with an ink cartridge or bulk ink feed system filled with a sublimation ink. This is used to print an image onto sublimation paper and the image is then transferred to a printable item using a heatpress.
These systems are widely in many diverse sectors, such as in Design and Technology within schools and colleges to enable high quality decoration of end products. Companies are also using the systems to produce promotional items such as a T-Shirt or Mouse Mats.
The wide variety of end products where Dye Sublimation is being used continues to grow weekly. Some examples of printable products are: metal, jewelery, bar mats, marble, ceramic tiles or mugs, glass, coasters, placemats, skateboards, clipboards, clocks, dry wipe boards, tents, mobile phones, computer mice, award plaques, aprons, flags, sportswear, apparel, jigsaw puzzles, aprons, socks, carpet, snowboards and much, much more.
