The process involves transferring a specially printed image onto a prepared wooden surface using heat and pressure. The heat causes the sublimation ink to convert into a gas, which then permeates the wood’s coating and solidifies, creating a permanent, vibrant design. An example of this process is creating personalized photo panels or custom wooden signs with detailed graphics.
This technique offers advantages such as creating durable, high-resolution images on wood that resist scratching and fading. Furthermore, it enables customization and personalization, expanding the possibilities for crafting unique home decor, personalized gifts, and promotional items. The historical adoption of this technique for wood applications is relatively recent, coinciding with advancements in coating technologies suitable for wood surfaces.
