Sublimation is the transition of a solid product into gas. During dye sublimation the solid dye (ink) evaporates by heat; the ink does not become liquid, but changes immediately into gas. In this way, the dye particles penetrate the substrate immediately.Sublimation is the transition of a solid product into gas.
