Dye Sublimation The ultimate in image printing, this process produces the best quality
prints rivaling those done by photo processing labs. What happens is
that instead of ribbons or nozzles spraying ink dots, a dye impregnated
colored film is passed over the paper to be printed. This film is then
heated vaporizing the dye and impregnating the paper underneath. It
must be remembered that the inkjet counterparts print a series of dots
that form the image. These dots have hard, well defined edges that could
be visible upon magnification. What sets this process apart is that
the heat vaporized dye forms gradations or shading thereby softening
the edge of each pixel. And since the dye impregnates the paper, the
prints are more likely to withstand degradation of fading. |
