Hi

Just a quickie on the best method for printing light tees, dye or sublimation, which is the recommended method and what gives the best results?

Cheers

Both the same process, sublimation is 'dye sublimation'

Are both basically the same result, one no better than the other?

I think you meant Transfers and Sublimation ....Sublimation is heat activated ink printed in to Only Polyester materials (Or Polymer coated)..Transfer is what you do with JPSS...(No need Sublimation ink) ..

Sublimation print only goes with White or light colour Polyester t-shirts and Transfers you know (As Jpss)..Sublimation prints are great and fade resistant but only Polyester can be printed ....Hope this helps ...BTW I recommend you to have a good read through the forum and internet to find out sublimation printing before you get in to and that will save you lot of time and money for sure ....

Hi, yes i'm aware on what I can print on etc but just wanted to know if there was a quality difference really.

cheers for the info

I suppose dying fabric would normally be used to describe dying the whole batch of fabric in its manufacturing process, so the whole roll would be one colour, for polyesters this would be dysperse dyes.
Sublimation inks are specially formulted dysperse dyes for using in an inkjet printer.
