Dye-sublimation is a process of creating photographs using a printing technique that diffuses dye onto paper. This dye comes in the form of a ribbon, which is converted into a diffused gas when heat is applied, and is absorbed by a special receiving layer on the paper.

The print head heats very accurately to varying temperatures, creating different shades of colour depending on the amount of heat that is produced.

The print head in a Dye Sublimation Photo Printer, is capable of producing 256 levels of each colour (cyan, magenta, yellow), and is able to create a total of 16.77 million true colours by combining these three primary colours. Using a special over-coating layer, the dye layers are sealed into the paper and the image is protected against UV light, fingerprints, and even water.

There is no smudging, running, or blotching because your prints are dry and ready to touch as soon as they leave the printer.
