Whether it’s the productivity possibilities, volume variabilities, killer color fidelity, or impeccable image reproductions, dye sublimation (dye sub) printing offers so many advantages. Getting the most out of each job, however, requires a high level of expertise to maximize your technology and time. If your printers are pumping out apparel, print media, industrial, or home décor patterns or graphics for dye sub printable fabrics, it’s inevitable to run into a challenge.
You could consult your users’ manual or try to figure it out through trial and error, but another option includes consulting the TVF Resource Center. This only helper is free to use and built on the expertise we’ve built through 50 years in fabric. The dye sub troubleshooting section of the in-depth TVF Resource Center addresses a number of common issues that could crop up. Browse through troubleshooting topics and an overview of how to help:
