Allover print sublimation graphics are popular in the fashion world and among traditional apparel decorators.
Printing a complete garment is considered large-format, inkjet sublimation decoration (42 inches wide and larger), as compared to desktop inkjet sublimation printing, where traditionally sized garment images would be used to decorate phone cases, coffee mugs and similar smaller items.
