Not all printing is created equal. Dye sublimation - the process we use for our fabric graphics - happens to be one of the more environmentally sound ways to get a striking, hard-wearing print. Here's why it's worth knowing about.
Water-based dyes
Dye sublimation uses water-based dyes rather than solvent-based ones, so it doesn't release the harmful Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) that some printing methods do. A small change in method that makes a real difference to the air around it.
No water, no runoff
Traditional printing can involve water, with the risk of runoff into waterways. Dye sublimation uses none in the printing process - so there's no waste finding its way into water sources. Sustainability built into the method itself.
Dry off the printer
Because there's no water involved, prints come off the printer dry and ready to use. No energy-hungry drying stage - which means less power used for the same result.
Made for volume
Dye sublimation is straightforward to set up and run, which makes it well suited to larger runs. Whether it's a handful of graphics or a full rollout, the process stays efficient and resource-light.
The science bit
Sublimation turns solid dye directly into a gas using heat and pressure - skipping the liquid stage entirely. The heat opens the pores of the fabric, the dye moves in, and as the fabric cools the pores close and lock it there. The result is a print engineered to resist fading, shifting or washing out - colour that lasts as long as the display does.
Choosing dye sublimation isn't only about print quality. It's a conscious decision to keep the environmental impact of your graphics low, without compromising on the finish.
