Dye-Sublimation Printer: Digital printing technology with wide color range
A dye-sublimation printer (or dye-sub printer) is a high quality computer printer that uses heat to make coloured images.
The ink is held on cellophane sheets that are the same size as the paper. A 6" x 4" printer would use 6" x 4" ink sheets. Each image uses 4 sheets - 3 ink sheets Cyan, Magenta and Yellow and a clear sheet.
Since each sheet of ink is printed one at a time, making multiple images takes a long time.
The images are very high quality. They waste a lot of ink. This means that the prints are very expensive.
