Global Dye Sublimation Printing Market Size

Dye sublimation printing is a digital process that uses heat to transfer dye onto materials like fabric, paper, plastic, and metal. This creates permanent, high-resolution images that do not fade or wash out. Modern dye sublimation systems include direct-to-fabric printers, transfer paper systems, hybrid solutions, and industrial-scale production equipment. New developments feature eco-friendly inks, expanded color gamut, design software, and machines that print faster with better image quality and address environmental and efficiency concerns.
