Sublimation printing offers several advantages over traditional heat transfer methods for cycling jerseys:
- Durability: Sublimation integrates dye into the fabric, making designs resistant to peeling, cracking, or fading, even after multiple washes12.
- Detail and Complexity: This method allows for intricate designs and vibrant color gradients that are difficult to achieve with traditional printing techniques13.
- Breathability: Because the dye becomes part of the fabric, sublimation maintains the jersey’s moisture-wicking and breathable properties, enhancing comfort during rides35.
- Eco-Friendly: Sublimation uses water-based inks and generates less waste, making it a more sustainable choice compared to traditional methods14.
- Speed and Efficiency: The process is quicker for bulk orders, eliminating the need for multiple screens or plates used in traditional printing15.
These benefits make sublimation printing an ideal choice for high-performance cycling jerseys.
