A fabric graphic has to fit its hardware, and sewing is where many projects succeed or fail. Our skilled sewers finish every dye sublimation project in-house, which keeps quality consistent and turnaround efficient. Learn more on our finishing capabilities page.

Good results take more than a single machine. Our dye sublimation printer for fabric setup works together with expert color management at the RIP, a high-quality ink set, the right transfer paper, humidity control for dimensional stability, and consistent heat and pressure during sublimation. Each step affects sharpness and color saturation, so we control every one of them.
Some customers ask whether they should buy a commercial sublimation printer of their own. For occasional or varied projects, working with a print provider is usually the better route. You avoid equipment costs, calibration, maintenance, and training, and you receive finished, sewn graphics ready to install. If you're weighing the two options for your volume, our team is happy to talk it through.

Common questions regarding our Chicago dye sub fabric production.
Latex and UV printing place ink on the surface of a material, while dye sublimation bonds dye into the fabric itself. Dye sublimation is the usual choice for flexible fabric displays, and latex and UV suit other materials. We offer both, so we can recommend the right method for your project.
Polyester-based fabrics give the best results. We’ll help you choose a fabric with the right look, stretch, and finishing for your display hardware.
