Anyone know about this company OR the color sublimation printing process? The company says with color sublimation you can use UNLIMITED colors at no extra cost.

The Sublimation process dyes the fabric with color, which helps maintain a fabrics "wicking" characteristics (the ability to breathe and let moisture through). And because the process dyes each thread of the fabric, there is no peeling, flaking or noticeable color change.

....

For high quality printing on breathable fabric, sublimation can't be beat.
First you're asking for more info, then saying it can't be beat. :confused:

Is this one of those paid testimonials?

No... no.. you miss understand.

I was filling in what the site says color sublimation was and why it may have advantages over conventional silk screening. I am looking to get some MTB club jerseys made and I liked the idea that there was no extra charge for lots of colors.

color costs extra, as for each color they need to create new dye sub sheets, which are heated and the ink is vaporized onto the material. The sheets cost a decent amount to make.
