Sublimation Basics – Image Mirroring

There is nothing more exasperating than to have a picture perfect press job, only to discover that the lettering on the final product is backwards.  With sublimation you must always mirror the design when printing.  It may seem like a backwards approach at first, but when you think through the production process it really does make sense.  Remember that the image is only on the paper long enough to transfer it over to the substrate. Thus, as it leaves the surface of the paper and bonds to the substrate, the orientation of the final image will flip or “mirror” that of how it was on the paper.  If you mirrored the image when you output it to the printer everything works out fine.
