Winger Style has chosen to feature our products using a process known as ‘Sublimation’  This process uses the standard CMYK colors as found in many ink jet or advertising style printers or plotters.  Our process can apply any picture to our shirts, tumblers and other specialized manufactured items with a special ink that turns to vapors when heated to high temperatures, much like colors found in most color printers including: Black, Yellow, Red (magenta), and Blue (Cyan) with the exclusion of white ink.  

To create a vibrant color popping image that seems to come to life when applied to white shirts and other white based items including tumblers or other clothing.  White acts as the missing but very valuable ink color in most designs. Printing or fusing directly onto polyester clothing or materials made specifically to include a high polyester film or construction allows a long time bond between the sublimation Ink and the shirt, tumbler, or other item. Have you ever noticed that some shirts fade over a period of time? This is because the ink used is sitting on top of the fibers, not adhered to each fiber. While Sublimation cannot say that it won’t fade, historically speaking that sublimation ink applied correctly to proper polyester clothing has a longer than normal life and often is vibrant long after the shirt or item falls apart from normal wear and tear.
