NEW ALTERNATIVE TO EMBROIDERY! Sublimation bonds right to the fibers of 100% polyester fabric, which makes it seem like the image was woven into the shirt. At half the cost of embroidery you can now offer polos and moisture wicking shirts that retain a higher percieved value without the cost and limitations of embroidery. Sublimation is only really meant for white or light colored garments, however if dark colors are printing then it can also go on darker colored fabrics.
