How Aluminum Sublimation Printing Works
| Step | Process | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Design preparation | Image is mirrored and printed on sublimation paper |
| 2 | Heat transfer | The image is pressed onto coated aluminum at high temperature |
| 3 | Color infusion | Dye turns into gas and penetrates the coating |
| 4 | Cooling and finish | The image becomes permanent and durable |
Printing parameters:
| Parameter | Recommended Range |
|---|---|
| Temperature | 180°C – 200°C |
| Time | 50 – 90 seconds |
| Pressure | Medium |
| Cooling | Natural air cooling |
Available Surface Types
| Finish Type | Appearance | Common Use |
|---|---|---|
| Glossy White | Bright and reflective | Photo panels, wall art |
| Matte White | Soft, non-reflective | Indoor signage |
| Brushed Silver | Metallic texture | Industrial labels, modern décor |
| Brushed Gold | Elegant metallic tone | Awards, luxury gifts |
| HD Nano Coating | Extra smooth | High-resolution photographic prints |
Each coating type enhances the image in a unique way — glossy for brilliance, matte for subtle tones, and brushed for a metallic look.

What is High-definition Aluminum Sublimation Printing?
High-definition aluminum sublimation printing is a modern digital printing technique that uses heat and pressure to transfer dyes onto a specially coated aluminum sheet.
This process produces brilliant, fade-resistant, and scratch-proof images, perfect for photography, art, and signage.
Unlike traditional paper printing, aluminum sublimation gives a metallic, glossy depth effect, making colors look more vibrant and three-dimensional. It has wide applciations by photographers, interior designers, and signage manufacturers.
