What is the difference between ordinary sublimation ink and high light resistance sublimation ink?
Typically, if using regular sublimation ink, we might see a significant fading of cyan first, followed by black, magenta, and yellow within 30 days.
In the last 10 years, our printing room has provided paper that has been printed with high light resistance sublimation ink, which the customer transfers to metal by himself, and it can last for 10 years outside. So, the sublimation ink lasts that long. If you print it on synthetic fabric, such as solution-dyed acrylic with high light resistance, the image can last for more than 10 years.
