When printers want to decorate synthetic materials, such as polyester, some polyamides (e.g. Nylon 6.6), and cellulose acetate, they typically print sublimation ink onto transfer paper and then transfer their reversed images with heat and pressure. They might also print directly with disperse dye, fix the dye to the material with heat and perhaps wash, or they print with pigmented ink and cure the printed image. Each of these methods offers both advantages and disadvantages for possible applications when compared with the other methods.
