Digital Print Base Fabric for Sublimation Printing, Fashion, Upholstery, Home Décor & Promotional Textiles
Digital Print Base Fabric is a polyester-based textile specially prepared for sublimation printing, making it ideal for custom fashion garments, upholstery, home décor, soft furnishings, event textiles and promotional applications. Supplied in a practical 150cm width, it provides a smooth printable surface designed to accept detailed digital artwork, photographs, gradients and repeat patterns with strong colour definition. Available by the metre, it is suitable for both small creative projects and larger commercial print runs.
The fabric is prepared for digital sublimation, allowing the dye to bond into the polyester fibres rather than sitting on the surface. This helps create vibrant, durable prints with a soft handle and no raised print layer. It is a versatile option for designers, print studios, garment manufacturers, upholsterers and event companies producing customised textiles. Pricing can also be negotiated according to order quantity, making it suitable for bulk and trade requirements.

FAQs
What is Digital Print Base Fabric?
It is a polyester-based textile prepared specifically for digital sublimation printing, allowing custom artwork, patterns and photographs to be transferred onto the fabric.
What type of printing is this fabric suitable for?
It is designed primarily for sublimation printing, which works best on polyester-based fabrics and polymer-coated materials.
Can sublimation printing be done on cotton?
Not effectively on untreated cotton. Sublimation dye bonds with polyester, so polyester-based fabrics are the preferred choice for strong and permanent results.
Are sublimation prints permanent?
Yes, the dye becomes part of the polyester fibre during the transfer process, helping produce prints that are durable and resistant to peeling or cracking.
Can this fabric produce photographic-quality prints?
Yes, sublimation printing can reproduce detailed graphics, gradients, photographs and complex colour designs when used with suitable printing equipment and settings.
Is the fabric suitable for upholstery?
Yes, it can be used for decorative upholstery and furnishing projects where custom printed designs are required, subject to the performance requirements of the finished item.
Can it be used for fashion garments?
Yes, it is suitable for custom clothing, costumes, sportswear panels and other fashion projects that require printed designs.
What are the advantages of sublimation printing?
Sublimation printing produces vibrant colours, fine detail and a soft finish because the dye bonds into the fabric rather than forming a separate surface layer.
Will the print crack or peel?
Unlike many surface printing methods, sublimation does not normally create a raised print film, so the design is far less likely to crack or peel during normal use.
Is bulk pricing available?
Yes, prices can be negotiated depending on the quantity required, making the fabric suitable for trade, manufacturing and larger commercial print projects.
How wide is the fabric?
The fabric is supplied in a 150cm width, making it suitable for garments, upholstery, furnishing projects and larger-format printed textiles.
