What is Sublimation Printing:
Sublimation printing is a digital printing process using pressurized heat to transfer sublimation dye onto mugs, t-shirts, and other surfaces.
Design Process:
Ever wondered how Airport Mugs designs end up on your favorite ceramic cup? It's all thanks to sublimation printing, a cutting-edge technique allowing vibrant, long-lasting prints with colorful detail. At Airport-Mugs.com, we use state-of-the-art sublimation printers to bring our aviation mug designs to life, ensuring every vessel is a work of aviation art.
After carefully designing the artwork and converting the file into a printable format, it's forwarded to production. Unlike traditional printing methods like screen-printing, sublimation printing infuses the ink directly into the ceramic mug's surface with high heat, resulting in vibrant prints which are scratch-resistant, fade-resistant, and dishwasher-safe.
It's Science:
The natural phenomenon of sublimation happens during the exchange or transfer from a solid object to a gas. Remember those fun, memorable summer days experimenting with dry-ice and how the cloud-like gasses hovered around the chunks of dry-ice in the warm air? That's sublimation!
An Airport Mugs printed design is heat-transferred via a hot sublimation press or sublimation oven. Gasses from the heated ink are permanently baked into or infused into the surface of the ceramic vessel and... voilà!
On the other hand, sublimation is very different from evaporation. Evaporation is a transition from a liquid to a gas. It's just like boiling water and watching the steam rise from our popular New York, LaGuardia LGA Airport Mugs in anticipation of a tasty coffee beverage or hot chocolate drink.
