Dye Sublimation Printing Services, Chemistry and Materials

Wide Format Printer

Vinyl banners are “passe.” “Boring.” “Dull.” Useful, but everybody’s got at least one. OK, they are cheap…I’ll give you that, but what does that say about your company. Your customer service. Your products. Your services.

Dye sublimation printing services offer a welcome breath of fresh air to the banner market. There are more companies offering these now than last year, and more than the year before, so the pricing is pretty reasonable.  The printed fabric displays help your business say “classy.” “Expensive” (even though they’re really not that costly now).

Digital Printing

Now that title got your attention, didn’t it! Is it scandalous? A) Are companies that do cloth banners printing hiding something from you, the customer? B) Should it be done differently but “they” just aren’t telling us? C) Or do I have lots of direct marketing friends who love catchy headlines? Or D), all of the above.

The answer for the above is “C.” Direct marketers like Perry Marshall, Rich Schefren, and Dan Kennedy love a good headline with a hook, and the word “exposed” is one of the best. Why? Everybody loves a good scandal. We love to expose other people as frauds.

I’ve written a few articles about sublimation printing, but this article will deal specifically with dye sublimation banners, how they’re done, where our clients are using them, and why you may want to consider upgrading your banner purchase from vinyl displays. And why they may actually be cheaper than those made from vinyl in the long run.

When I entered the Sign, Banner, and Decal Printing Business

In 1991, almost 20 years ago now, at the age of 31, I made the plunge into the sign, banner, decal, and display industry. We had a pretty good client base from another business,
