What is sublimation printing and what are the limitations? My legging design is mostly solid black. Can you print that? What colour fabric do you print on? How does the print look after sewing? What colours of thread do you sew with? Who decides the thread colour? Are your seam allowances always exactly the same? I see small dust marks on my print. Is this normal? My design placement is not the same as in the mockup. Why is that? How small of text can I print? Will my colours print the same as I see on the screen? There’s a small shadow on my black text. Why is that? I placed 2 different orders of the same product and the colours are a bit different between the 2 orders. Why is that? I ordered a pair of yoga leggings printed mostly with black and there is a difference between the band colour and the legs colour. Why does this happen? Will by sublimation printed fabrics and clothing fade? Will sublimation printed products shrink? Can I provide my own fabrics for sublimation? Why is there a number inside my leggings? What is it for? How are scarves finished? Why does the stitching overlap on hems?

There’s a small shadow on my black text. Why is that?

When we print a very dark solid colour against a white or a very light colour background, there may be a small amount of shadowing that happens when the paper is pulled away from the fabric. This happens since the fabric is still very hot when the paper is lifted and some trace amounts of dark ink may still continue to transfer. While some very minor shadowing will pass the print quality check, if there is too much shadowing the print will be redone.
