Printing & care
Polyester will not take reactive dye. In sublimation the design is printed onto transfer paper first, then heat and pressure turn the dye into a gas that settles inside the fibre. There is no layer sitting on the surface, so nothing can crack, peel or wash away — and the fabric keeps the exact hand it had before printing. White cannot be printed: any white in your design is the fabric itself.
Wash at 30–40 °C on a synthetics programme. Spin low (400–600 rpm). No bleach, no harsh stain remover. Iron inside out on the lowest setting or use a steamer. Do not tumble dry — dry flat or on a line, out of direct sun.
