Discover why dye sublimation is the preferred method for performance sportswear. Unlike screen printing, which deposits a thick layer of plastisol ink on top of the fabric, dye sublimation uses heat-sensitive inks that bind directly with the polyester fibers. This ensures that the prints remain fully breathable, do not crack over time, and do not create high-friction spots during intense athletic movement.
