It is not an easy decision to make, but here is some information to help you find the answer.  Sublimation Printing vs. Heat Transfer Printing With sublimation, a design for an image is printed onto a special type of paper.

The special paper is coated with pigment polymer film and waxes that bond with garment fibres when heat is applied. The paper is then placed design side down atop a piece of clothing, and heat is applied via a heat press. Once the p...
