My business partner and I decided we needed a new project so we took our enjoyment of dye sublimation and website design and put together a website talking about dye sublimate printing. This type of printing is digital transfer printing. You can use dye sub printing to put your artwork on various different objects :) The site is informational. We're not trying to sell you a system :) Just information about the process and how you might be able to use it. Come on over and give us a look http://www.dyesubbers.com - Noel

Is this a new process? I'm a clueless wonder about printing but it sounds fascinating.

It isn't a brand new process, but the costs are becoming very inexpesive to start. Basically what it does, is take dye and transfer into your blank. Such as a mousepad or a coffeemug or many other things. The resulting dye transfer is a permanent transfer. It won't wash off, is scratch resistant etc. People are using it in amazing ways :) Anything from things you would expect like mugs and mousepads to coating sides of a computer case and printing pictures on it :) Come on over to the website, I think you will get a grasp of it. I would love to hear from someone that has no experience in this process. Feedback on if our articles are understandable to the lay person would be great, we want this to be as approachable as possible to someone that has never experienced it before.

I cross posted over to the Printing forum. It sounds very interesting indeed. I think some people (like me) might be scared off by the terminology, but the idea is something artists and merchants should find useful to know about. :)

Thanks for the crossposting :) I didn't realize there was a printing forum (have to learn to look better) As for the terminology, it can be a bit daunting at the very begining but you'd find fairly quickly that the printing terms are very similiar to the ones used in pretty much all graphic setups :) Just think of it this way. You make a cool picture, and using this process you can put it on things other than just paper :) - Noel
