All-over printing or sublimation is a print process where your design is first printed on paper with dye ink, and then transferred directly onto the fabric with heat. Sublimation lets you cover all of the garment with your design instead of, for example, DTG printing where the print area is much smaller.
In general, sublimation works best on smooth surfaces where the majority of the fabric is made out of a polyester blend. Each of our fabrics has its characteristics to consider when designing and creating your all-over print products with luckypod.
Fabric composition:
82% Polyester / 18% Spandex
The smooth and tight knit surface allows for any print to come out really vibrant and detailed. Dark solid colors such as black might look less dark when the product (e.g. legging) is worn and the fabric is stretched. This is unavoidable, because the base fabric color is always white onto which the sublimation is applied.
