This system is a breakthrough in producing personalized items with vivid images with an ease never before achieved in the industry through the use of true dye sublimation and the included Epson 2880 DPI printer. The digitally controlled 14" x 16" heat press included is state of the art and has the unique feature of interchangeable elements. This allows one press to do the work of many at reduced overall cost. Optional elements enable the press to image on coffee mugs ($300), plates ($200) and caps ($250). It has 50 memory settings, covering pressure and temperature making it a simple process to always return to a prior application with assurance of exact duplication of setting. Additionally, this heavy duty press is of the swing-a-way design ensuring even pressure on the item to imaged, unlike most other presses, very important in dye sublimation imaging.

   What Is True Dye Sublimation?

There are two basic dye sublimation methods, true and second generation. Ribbon based systems use the second generation method. Heat is applied to a ribbon containing dyes forcing an image to a transfer paper. The dyes are heated a second time during the application process. As the dyes go through a heating and cooling process twice, the quality and vividness never match the single generation, or true sublimation method. In the true sublimation method, the dyes are printed directly on a carrier paper and are only heated during the final application process. This produces outstanding results. Our system uses true sublimation.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the limitations in the seals of all inkjet cartridges, both factory and ours, once cartridges are  installed they may not be removed until empty. The printer must be used only for dye sublimation imaging. Also, as with prints made with all dye sublimation inks, the image does not show the correct final colors, which only appear when heat and pressure is applied, then they are vibrant. Our inks include automatic color correction software at no additional charge for Windows formatted PC's. No extra steps are required, just press the print button. What you see on the screen is what you get on the items. 

Mac formatted PC's require a special PhotoShop plug in software, available for just $40 additional and do require an extra step prior to printing.
