Color & Image Variations

Images cannot be traced at 100%. Like colors, there is usually up to 8% variation.

Since the fabric is very malleable and moves a lot, it is the same during the sublimation process and the laser.

When the seams are put together, they may not necessarily line up with the exact image. If these were fully aligned, the pattern would be crooked, and the garment would suffer.

Color & Image Limitations

Why Neon Colors and Sparkles Aren't Feasible:

You may wonder why certain vibrant colors like neons and sparkles are not achievable through our sublimation process. The primary reason lies in the color palette of the inks we utilize. Our sublimation process relies on color profiles of RGB (Red, Green, Blue). Neon colors and sparkles typically require specialized pigments or reflective materials that are not compatible with our sublimation inks.

Explanation of RGB Color Palette:

RGB is the color model used in electronic displays, such as computer monitors, cameras, and televisions. It combines varying intensities of red, green, and blue light to produce a broad array of colors. However, RGB colors have limitations when transferred onto physical substrates, particularly when using sublimation inks.

While we may not offer neon colors or sparkles, rest assured that our sublimation process delivers crisp, long-lasting prints that resist fading, cracking, and peeling.
