Correct word for when you use sublimation on an item

WorthDoingRight · Post by **WorthDoingRight** » 19 Sep 2012, 21:08

I have always thought the word sublimate was the correct word for sublimation printing of an item.

I have however just read this in a sublimation suppliers catalogue.
Sheets, to Sublime onto and then iron onto a garment. Ideal to image non white, non polyester fabrics.

So does anyone have a theory to the correct term - is it Sublime or Sublimate or something different? Or is sublime the name of a substrate that is sublimatable? lol

Must be an American thing. Sublimate and then its Sublimated. Even Germans understand that.

Sublimate for me.

Although I generally use the word print as most customers don't care how the image got there just as long as it is there. I would never use the word "iron" either. Just sounds too mickey mouse (there's the Americans again LOL!!!), "press" is what I would use.
