~~Imprinting Process~~
Many people ask HOW I imprint photos, so I wanted to include this page to explain the process.
First of all, most people send photos as 'jpeg' attachments via email - some folks send photos via 'snail mail' and I scan them. I typically do a little photo editing: cropping, resizing, adding different effects, or whatever works for each photo.
I have a second printer set up with sublimation ink and dye sublimation transfer paper, which is what I use to print out the photos.
The photos are then IMPRINTED into a poly poplin fabric (either white or ecru) using sublimation ink and a heat press (which my 'handy hubby' made for me!)
**These are NOT regular computer ink photos, nor 'iron-on' photos!**
The combination of the sublimation ink and the heat press transforms the ink into a gas, which permeates the fabric. This causes the photos to virtually become part of the fabric, making them permanent, while the fabric stays soft and flexible (not the stiff ironed-on feeling!)
You can also wash and dry the items with the imprinted photos!
