The process of Sublimation is where a special ink passes through an inkjet printer or a color ribbon printer onto a special transfer paper. Then the printed image is heat-transferred onto the substrate surface. The ink actually becomes a gas and permeates into the item. The final result that’s achieved is the item used in this process does not fade over time because the ink is literally embedded into product. Materials that we can use this process on are Metal, Plastic, Glass, and Apparel that have a polymer coating. We can apply sublimation to mugs, cups, caps, and clothing. Pertaining to clothing it needs to be 100% polyester on light colored garments.

Another service that AmeriGrafix offers is silk screening or screen printing. Silk screening is a process in which an image is transferred to a surface by squeezing ink through a stenciled screen stretched over a frame. Screens are treated with a light-sensitive emulsion, then film positives are put in contact with the screens and exposed to light. The light hardens the emulsion not covered by the film, leaving a soft area on the screen that the ink can be forced through. Items that can be screen printed are virtually endless however popular items include apparel, signs, back packs, textiles, caps, and so on.
