    By John Harris


    Technology has found a way to creep into the garment industry. Fashion has over the years changed and people are looking for more personalized ways to express themselves in what they put on. This has led to printing of clothes and there are different ways in which it is done. One of these methods is sublimation clothing. To enable you understand the procedure, the details given below will be of help.

    It is important to know what it is. This is a process in which ink is made to bond with fabric as opposed to having it on top like on screen printing. The former relies on molecular bonding while the former depends on a binder to attach the decorations. The end product on the garment does not crack or fade even with regular washing. This is an ideal way to have the print for long over the life time of the wear.

    The actions that are performed to fuse the images with the material are simple. The design is printed on a piece of special paper using ink and a machine. This is later reduced to the proper size and the cut paper is placed on the fabric. Heat is applied to the two of them and in the process, the image is fused. The garment feels softer and is also durable.

    There are different materials used to manufacture various wears. Not all are suitable for this operation. The ideal choice is the polymers and polyesters. These can withstand the amount of heat used to press. Cotton and wool should not be used because they do not. However, some chemicals added to the suitable materials may interfere with their workability. Fabric with fifty percent polymer can also be used.

    Colors are used on all clothes. The suitable tone to use for this procedure is white. The image however should not have any of its patterns with it since when printed, it will not show. When colored fabric is used, the design which is white is replaces by that of the attire. Fading may occur when the press heat is greater than that of dye setting of wear. It is crucial to test the substance being used.

    There are two categories of procedures which are spot and allover printing respectively. Spot system is cheaper to use and is the most common. The graphic is printed on the transfer paper and afterward its discarded when the action is over. Its usually smaller than the paper used since the edges are not utilized.

    Allover exercise involves covering the wear with ink from the top to bottom. It could be one side or both. The image is therefore large compared to that of above system. It is possible for you to create white prints with it. It is however expensive since equipment needed are larger.

    To end, this is a very effective way to customize your gears. You can achieve the desired graphics by selecting the right machinery to use. Although not all things are applicable, you just have to identify what can work for the decorations to make sense.
