Sublimation inks can be utilized for the following purposes:

• Textile– polyester fabrics become sublime with versatile inks and able to create carpet fabrics, flagging material, sails, and sportswear. All of them are washable and sustainable even after hardwearing.
• Hardware – ceramic, wood, and metal items can be used for sublimation prints to decorate and create signage for companies like on mugs, key chains, magnets etc. The vivid inks are applied to the items and are able to maintain their look even after continuous washing. Synthetic materials with a polyester base can be easily sublimated. This includes rigid polyester films, polyester textiles, including nylon and those items that can be treated with polyester.
• It is important to know that sublimation inks are genuinely transparent by their natural composition making them useable only for light colored and white backgrounds and objects. Another limitation to sublimation printing is that they don’t sit well with fabrics containing pure cotton and surface that are non-porous and don’t have a coated layer of polyester.
