Sawgrass Technologies Webinar: Breaking The Rules Of Sublimation
November 8, 2011 to November 8, 2011
You've probably heard some of the long-standing "rules" of sublimation production, but are they really hard fast physical laws, or just general guidelines to help you with the basics? The reality is that you can do more with sublimation than you might imagine, things like decorating blended fabrics, and printing on colored surfaces. We'll take a look at the most common sublimation rules and determine which are set in stone and which are flexible. As you will see, stretching the boundaries might just be the trick for generating new products and solutions that leave your competition wallowing in the dust.
