Dye-Sublimation Printing

Dye-sublimation prints are a new medium where dyes are directly transferred onto an aluminum surface. The result is stunning with vibrant color and a unique dimensional quality. Sublimation is the process of a solid turning to gas and back to solid. We print with dyes onto unique transfer paper, then heat the paper and specially coated metal with high pressure and temperature in our custom press.

Dye-sublimation prints are durable because the dyes are below the coated surface, resulting in a fade and scratch resistant piece. The aluminum (.045 thickness) can stand alone, be backed with any of our substrates, braced or framed.

We offer both white and clear dye-sublimation prints. White prints have a white base, so the highlights are true to the image. Clear prints are transparent, in which the brushed metal shows through the highlights of the image. We offer matte, semi-matte, and glossy finishes for both white and clear prints.

We can print up to 48” x 96” on a single dye-sub panel. For larger images, we can print on multiple panels and seam them together.
