Basically, sublimation could print all colours, however, sublimation couldn’t achieve metallic gold or silverfish colours. The gold and silver colours sublimated would be just matt yellow or grey.
Sublimation does not penetrate to the other side of the fabric, so the inner side of fabric remains its original colour, for example – white colour. For compression fabric, there’s a white shearing effect when stretched.
Offset sublimation is suitable for very large orders, in one design, and limited sizes. Offset sublimation would incur printing drum setup costs as high as USD$350 per colour but it would be very cost effective for large quantity at approximately 30% less than digital sublimation.
