Sublimation Explanation

First off, what really is sublimation? Sublimation means that a solid is changed into a gas while skipping the liquid phase. Dye sublimation is the process in which heat is used to transfer ink to an item by way of a special ink and paper.

Because of this process the image will not crack, fade, chip, peel, etc.
