2. Dye-sublimation printing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dye-sublimation_printing

   Dye-sublimation printing (or dye-sub printing) is a term that covers several distinct digital computer printing techniques that involve using heat to transfer dye onto a substrate. The sublimation name was first applied because the dye was thought to make the transition between the solid and gas states without going through a liquid stage.

3. Heat press - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_press

   A heat press is a machine engineered to imprint a design or graphic on a substrate, such as a t-shirt, with the application of heat and pressure for a preset period of time. While heat presses are often used to apply designs to fabrics , specially designed presses can also be used to imprint designs on mugs, plates, jigsaw puzzles, caps, and ...

4. Sublimation (phase transition) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sublimation_(phase_transition)

   After the digital design is printed onto sublimation transfer sheets, it is placed on a heat press along with the substrate to be sublimated. [citation needed] In order to transfer the image from the paper to the substrate, it requires a heat press process that is a combination of time, temperature and pressure.

5. Digital textile printing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_textile_printing

   With the development of a dye-sublimation printer in the early 1990s, it became possible to print with low energy sublimation inks and high energy disperse direct inks directly onto textile media, as opposed to print dye-sublimation inks on a transfer paper and, in a separate process using a heat press, transfer it to the fabric.

6. Thermal-transfer printing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal-transfer_printing

   Thermal-transfer printing is done by melting wax within the print heads of a specialized printer. The thermal-transfer print process utilises three main components: a non-movable print head, a carbon ribbon (the ink) and a substrate to be printed, which would typically be paper, synthetics, card or textile materials.

7. Transfer printing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_printing

   Transfer printing is a method of decorating pottery or other materials using an engraved copper or steel plate from which a monochrome print on paper is taken which is then transferred by pressing onto the ceramic piece. [1] Pottery decorated using this technique is known as transferware or transfer ware.
