How does SubliJet inks compare with other digital imprinting technologies?

- Dye Diffusion Transfers (Dye Sublimation):

Dye diffusion transfers are created on a thermal printer using varying degrees of heat to sublimate dyes from a paneled ribbon in the printer to a special carrier paper. The image is then re-sublimated onto the final substrate. This "second generation" transfer offers photorealistic images, yet is limited to coated ceramics and treated cotton fabric. Examples of this technology include Fargo's FotoFun, Sony and Hitachi video printers, and Seiko's Specialty ColorPoint thermal printer.
