Whether you are already in the Dye-Sublimation business or about to embark on a
new venture it is important to understand the basic science behind dye-sublimation.
Dye: to impregnate colour into a material. Many times this colour change is
permanent.
Sublimation: a change directly from the solid to a gas without becoming liquid.
Dye-Sublimation: Solid dye particles are changed into gas using heat and
pressure, then bond with any polyester polymers present, and change back into a
solid.
Many people think that the dye sublimation process is a new technology but this is
certainly not the case. Originating in the 1950's, dye sublimation technology has in
recent times been revolutionised by its application with digital inkjet printing
technology. When invented it was found that synthetic fabrics such as polyester
could not be coloured with the dying process used with natural fibres such as wool
and cotton.
The process developed to colour synthetic fabrics was to place special dyes on a
paper using screen print technology. This paper was then placed on the fabric in a
heat press. When heat is applied to the dyes it goes from a solid to a gas without
going through a liquid state, a bit like dry ice. The vaporised dye sublimates into the
open pores of the fabric and when the heat is removed the dye solidifies thus dyeing
it on a permanent microscopic basis. Any polyester garments such as football
jumpers, swimwear, kids pyjamas etc. are all coloured by this dye sublimation
process.
The big moment was when the dyes have been refined to a stage that they can now
be passed through the nozzles of standard ink-jet technology. This eliminated the
cost prohibitive set up associated with traditional screen printing. This process was
patented by Sawgrass Technologies Inc. worldwide, including Australia, USA and
Europe.
Beside its traditional use on synthetic fabric, dye sublimation can be used to
decorate on a vast and growing array of polyester coated products. These coated
items include ceramics, metal, wood, jewellery, clocks, coasters, mats, name
badges to name a few.
Custom Products As Easy at Create, Print and Press!
Create! Create or import your artwork using a graphic program, like CorelDRAW® or Adobe® PhotoShop®.
Print! Print your image using ArTainium® UV+ or SubliJet-R® sublimation inks, a standard Epson® or
Ricoh® printer and high quality sublimation paper.
Press! Using a standard flatbed or mug heat press, transfer the image onto a wide variety of substrates.
Introduction into Dye-Sublimation
Key Points to remember:
+ Substrate MUST have a
polyester coating or
content.
+ Substrate MUST be heat
resistant to 200C. All
products supplied by AGS
are sublimation ready!
+ Sublimation inks MUST
be used in a compatible
Epson or Ricoh printer.
+ Compatible sublimation
papers are recommended
for different ink types/
brands.
+ Sublimated products
are not suitable for long
term outdoor use.
+ Sawgrass Technologies
Inc. hold the patent to
dye-sublimation inks. All
other ‘unbranded’ or
‘non-Sawgrass’ inks are
infringing the worldwide
patent. All inks supplied
by AGS are licensed by
Sawgrass.

Why can’t I sublimate dark material?
Dye-sublimation inks are water based inks, therefore they are transparent when they are pressed. If you try press
onto a dark substrate you will not see anything, if you try press onto a gold substrate the gold will show through,
slightly changing your colours. Think about when you go to do a slideshow on a projector - you need a white wall.
This is the same theory as with dye-sublimation. You need to have a white base to enable the colours to be true. The
only way you can print an image onto a dark garment is using the PromaSubFLOCK. This is a thin white vinyl that
you heat press onto and then cut out and press onto your garment. The Flock provides the white base.
Why can’t I sublimate onto cotton?
Dye-Sublimation is designed to bond to polyester fibres and ignore everything else. When it comes to garments and
fabric blends we recommend a minimum of 65% polyester, but remember because the ink will only penetrate the
polyester, the less polyester in your fabric the less quality image you will have. And also remember it has to be light
coloured.
If it only works with polyester then why can I print onto glass and ceramics?
If the substrate is not a polyester fabric then it has been sprayed with a polyester coating. All of the products Power
Digital supplies come pre-coated. We only source products with a good quality coating, as with everything there are
varying qualities of coating and this can effect the longevity of the print as well as the durability. Power Digital also
stocks a range of coatings that you can spray yourself. Remember not all products will be suited for the press, either
because of their size, shape or resilience to heat.
What about plastics?
You can’t sublimate onto just any piece of plastic. Many polymers cannot withstand the amount of heat needed to do
the sublimation part of the process, and if they can stand the heat what’s going to happen when you add some
pressure and time? Many of them melt and shrink. FRP (Fibre Reinforced Plastic) is what all of the plastics supplied
by Power Digital are made from.
Who are Sawgrass Technologies?
Sawgrass Technologies, Inc. is a specialty chemical research company developing innovative vertical market
solutions with patented digital transfer imaging technology. By combining leading-edge digital ink products with
advanced colour management software, Sawgrass has developed state–of–the–art systems for high-quality colour
printing of personalized and customised images onto a wide variety of surfaces. These technologies enable
customers to create, manage, and deliver visually rich products by harnessing the power of digital printing.
Did Sawgrass invent inkjet sublimation printing?
Prior to the mid–1990's, a commercially viable/stable inkjet sublimation ink was not available in the market. There
were unsuccessful attempts to sell sublimation inks for use in inkjet printers. These inks however tended to quickly
settle out and could not be printed for more than a few hours without permanently damaging the print heads.
Sawgrass' first solution for the problems encountered with inkjet sublimation was a wax thermal sublimation printer
product released in the early 1990's. Shortly after the successful release of wax thermal sublimation printing
technology, Sawgrass began development of inkjet sublimation inks resulting in it's first release in 1996. This
innovation was awarded U.S. and International Patents.
How does Sawgrass protect itself from companies that infringe on its patents?
Sawgrass owns patents covering the manufacture, printing, and application of sublimation inks used with inkjet
printers and has invested over $10 million into the development of this proprietary technology. There are companies
currently selling sublimation inks into the market that are believed to infringe on Sawgrass patents. The companies
supplying these inks are aware of Sawgrass patent claims and of their products patent infringement. They wilfully
choose to sell them for their financial gain in disregard of existing patents.
Sawgrass always seeks a business solution to this type of conflict but must ultimately rely on Federal Courts to en-
force the patent law and force such suppliers to stop selling patent infringing inks into the marketplace.

There are two main Graphics Software programs used in
the digital printing industry.
Graphics Software: is a program used for
importing, editing and creating images
using your PC. An ICC compliant graphics
software is essential for dye-sublimation.
The most popular program for dye-
sublimation users is CorelDraw
Graphics Suite. This is because of it
ease of use, applications and
features. It is used by the novice
through to the graphic artist. It is
ideal for simple graphic design,
layout and output.
The other common software used
for dye-sublimation is Adobe
PhotoShop. This is generally used
by the more advanced users as it is
focused towards editing and
manipulating images, with the
layout being a little more in-depth.
If you are new to the world of graphics, AGS
recommends (and sells) CorelDraw.
When a dye-sublimation transfer sheet is pressed onto a substrate the ink turns into
a gas to bond to the polymers of the substrate. During this ‘gassing’ certain colours
will ‘shift’ so the finished product will not look like the original.
Colour Correction: is the art of correcting this colour
transformation so that you can produce the best quality results
on your substrate.
A colour profile or ICC (International Colour Consortium) is developed using three
key elements - the printer, the ink and the paper. If one of these elements is change
then this will effect the accuracy and outcome of the profile. To use this profile you
must work with an ICC compliant graphics software such as CorelDraw or
PhotoShop. The profile will be placed in the output stage of printing and the
Manufacturers printer drive will be set to ‘No Colour Adjustment’. This will embed the
profile into the image as it is sent to the printer and the printer driver will ‘transparent’.
All printing systems supplied by AGS Power Digital are sold with ICC Profiles*.
Substrate: is a term used in printing, mainly industrial printing, to describe the base material that images will be printed onto. There are hundreds of different products available that fall into these categories: Fabrics: including t-shirts, neoprene products such as mouse mats and stubby coolers, flags, patches and more. Coated Ceramics: including mugs, tiles, ornaments, jars, bowls and more. Coated Metals: including name plates, plaques, coasters, keyrings and more. Coated Woods: including plaques, coasters, place mats, jigsaws and more. Coated Glass: including cutting boards, plaques, coasters and more. FRP: including name plates, shapes, door hangers, coasters and more.

When you are making the investment of a new venture, you want to ensure you get the right equipment for your
needs. The most common questions please first ask is ‘What is the right printer for me?’. We wish there was a simple
answer, but as not everyone needs are the same, there is no one printer that will suit everyone.
Your Choice:
Firstly you will need to determine what products you are wanting to produce, and also consider what you will be
wanting to do in the future. You don't want to start off with an A4 printer with the view of printer A3 sized bags.
Secondly, you will need to consider what features and quality you want. Will it be photographic quality or just simple
spot colour text and graphics.
The final thing to consider is the ink configuration, do you have a preference over cartridge or bulk ink? Generally
cartridges are commonly used for the lower production end users and the bulk ink for the higher production, this is
mainly because of their costs factors. But as said above, not everyone is the same.
Like everything, all printers have their strengths and weaknesses and these will be review in the following:
Ink Configurations:
Cartridges: These are a replaceable ‘one-life’ consumable. Cartridges come in different sizes depending on the
printer model. A cartridge configuration is generally thought to be a more expensive way of printer as your ink costs
are increased, however the maintenance costs are decreased compared to a bulk ink system. A cartridge system is
ideal if you a intending for smaller production scale with intermittent print cycles.
Why Choose?
+ Ease of use + No filling inks + Easily transportable
+ No mess or fuss + No tubes or lines + Hassle free installation
Bulk Ink: Also known as CISS (Continuous Ink Supply Systems) is an external ink supply system. This features clear
plastic lines that run from the bulk ink reservoirs into the cartridge assembly in the printer. Most bulk ink systems will
contain around 125ml of each colour ink. Bulk Ink systems are generally considered to be a more cost effective way
of printing as purchasing the ink in bulk is cheaper. This is also more suited for a medium to higher end production
user as the bulk ink systems needs to be used more regularly to keep them maintained.
Why Choose?
+ Cheaper print costs + Clear bottles for easy monitoring
+ No mess or fuss + Quick installation + High use quality

Continuous crop mark detection to cut
printed matter
By detecting continuous crop marks
on the printed matter, complex contour
cuts of shapes will be continuously
made, making individual adjustments
automatically. By detecting a
maximum of 4 points, cutting is made
with high accuracy while minimizing
distortion at the time of printing and
laminating. Also, a light pointer
enables to make position adjustment
of crop marks easily.
Half Cut Function
With our own half cut function, the
backing sheet can be cut leaving a
little bit of half cut connecting points,
which can be easily detached when
necessary. Various media without
backing sheets can also be cut.
