Dye-sublimation onto metal is the process of ink dyes going from a solid to a gas and back to a solid infused onto a metal surface. First, the image is printed on a transfer paper and then adhered to a pre-treated aluminum. The aluminum and transfer paper are placed together and undergo a custom heating press to temperatures up to 380 degrees Fahrenheit. The extreme heat and pressure applied to the transfer paper turn the dyes into a gas which are infused into the aluminum. As the dyes cool, they are permanently solidified beneath the surface of the metal substrate.
