Impressions now employs dye-sublimation technology to personalize gift and accessory items in full color. Unlike screen printing, the sublimation process uses heat, pressure and special inks to infuse an image directly into the surface of the personalized item. The sublimated image cannot be scratched or worn off. Images in vibrant color can be sublimated on plastic, metal, fabric, neoprene, glass, wood, and ceramic items.
