Epson & DCC Dye Sublimation Printers | Professional Equipment

Commercial Epson & DCC Dye Sublimation Printing Solutions

Building a profitable custom products business requires rich, vibrant color output that won't fade or wash out over time. Unlike surface-applied transfer films, wide-format dye sublimation embeds inks deep into polyester fibers and polymer-coated substrates. Sourcing an industrial dye sublimation printer enables your print shop to deliver high-margin custom sportswear, soft signage, and personalized promotional products with incredible color accuracy and ultra-low cost-per-print.

Dye Sublimation Printers: FAQ

What is the best dye-sublimation printer for a small business or startup?

For startups and growing boutique shops, the Epson SureColor F570 Professional Edition is the top choice. It is a compact 24-inch desktop unit featuring precision color management software and easy-to-fill high-capacity ink tanks.

Can I use a dye sublimation printer on 100% cotton t-shirts?

No. Sublimation dyes require polyester synthetic fibers or specialized polymer coatings to bond properly. For 100% cotton garments, we recommend using Direct-to-Garment (DTG) or Direct-to-Film (DTF) equipment. Sublimation is designed for 100% polyester apparel, performance sportswear, and polymer-coated hard goods.

What is the primary difference between desktop and industrial sublimation printers?

Desktop units like the Epson F570 handle sheet-fed or narrow roll paper ideal for lower volumes. Industrial printers like the DCC NeoChroma series or wide-format Epson F-Series units offer larger print widths (up to 64"), significantly faster linear print speeds, and bulk ink feed systems to drastically reduce per-print production costs.

Do I need a special heat press for dye sublimation printing?

Yes. Sublimation requires a high-quality commercial heat press capable of consistently maintaining 400°F (200°C) with uniform, heavy clamping pressure across the entire platen surface.

Does Lawson provide setup training and technical support for sublimation printers?

Yes. Lawson Workhorse Group provides complete installation support, color management guidance, and USA-based technical assistance out of our distribution hubs in St. Louis, MO, and Atlanta, GA.
