  • The perfect home business?
    So what is dye sublimation printing, and what makes it such a good home-based business? Kevin Lewis of Subli Nation Ltd explains all...
    Published:  03 November, 2009

    Dye Sublimation is a process that is used to create high quality photo quality printed gifts in small to medium volume, also known as "personalisation."

    With dye sublimation (also known as dye sub, or subli printing) you're not just transferring an image on to an item - you're imprinting the image in to the surface of the product, so it's permanent.

  • Auto pre-treating and curing
    Nottinghamshire based Your Embroidery Services Ltd have launched the next step in direct to garment ink jet printing with The PreJet which, ironically, is not a printer. Tony Whitmore explains...
    Published:  30 September, 2009

    The PreJet is more of a preparation machine as its sole purpose is to apply the pre-treat needed to print onto coloured fabrics. To create the same quality prints as those produced on white T shirts, you need to substitute the white base that would otherwise be the fabric with a white ink base.
