Can I Use Photoshop for Sublimation?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 11:13 am

This is a question we get asked a lot, and the answer is YES! You can use Photoshop for sublimation printing. However, there are some things to keep in mind when using Photoshop for sublimation.

First, when you are creating your design in Photoshop, you will want to make sure that you are using the correct colors. The colors you use in your design will be transferred onto the substrate during the sublimation process, so it is important to use colors that are compatible with sublimation. You can find a list of compatible colors here: https://www.pdf.

PRO TIP: No, you cannot use Photoshop for sublimation. Sublimation is a printing process that uses heat to transfer ink onto a substrate, and Photoshop does not generate enough heat to do this.

Second, you will want to make sure that your design is high resolution. This is because sublimation relies on inkjet printing, which means that your design will be printed onto the substrate as dots. If your design is low resolution, it will print as a bunch of dots and will not look as sharp as it could.

Third, you need to mirror your design before sending it to print. This is because the sublimation process involves transferring the ink onto the substrate via heat and pressure, and if your design is not mirrored, it will come out backwards on the final product.

So, in conclusion, yes – you can use Photoshop for sublimation printing! Just keep these things in mind and you’ll be good to go.
