Printing process
All your equipment is printed by sublimation. Sublimation on textile is an innovative digital printing technique that allows to print a photo quality image. It uses heat sensitive inks and is done on transfer paper with a textile printer. The paper is then placed directly on the fabric. It is the heat and the pressing that allow the inks to be fixed on a polyester support. The inks adhere completely to the fabric, which explains why it is pleasant to wear and breathable, and why the markings are resistant to washing. Sublimation is widely used for technical sportswear.
Sublimation has specific characteristics that offer many advantages. Breathability of the fabric The fabric's ability to wick away perspiration is neither stopped nor slowed down and the body is kept dry. Resistance to washing of colors and markings Thanks to the sublimation technique, colors and markings do not fade or crack and are resistant to even frequent washing. Simply follow the washing and care instructions on the labels on each item. Freedom to Create The process gives you unprecedented freedom to customize your sports equipment. It assures you of a result that meets your expectations in terms of colors or visuals. Price The cost of printing logos and other markings is included in the amount you pay for your order. The printing does not entail any additional cost whatever the texts or motifs incorporated, the number of logos, their dimensions, the number of colors, etc.
