 "It’s rare that you find a vendor that actually becomes a member of your team. Metropolitan goes above and beyond not only as a printer, but as a helpful resource in the entire marketing process. In our dynamic industry it is highly beneficial to find a company so willing to get the job done. If there is a question about a certain detail or instruction, they exhaust all possible sources to find an answer. It might should cliché, but I sleep better at night knowing they are on my projects. I need resources that find solutions and they are right next to me throughout the entire process, as if they were one of my employees!
Metropolitan is a fantastic resource at providing solutions and more, efficiently, effectively, and fast!"

With dye sub printing, the graphic is initially printed on coated transfer paper as a reverse image of the desired final design. This is then transferred onto a polyester fabric in a heat press operating at a temperatures near 375 F. Under this high temperature and pressure, the dye turns into a gas and permeates the fabric, which then solidifies into its fibers. The fabric is now permanently dyed so it can be washed time and time again, without damaging the quality of the image. Some popular fabrics to use with this print method for trade shows, home shows, and office decoration are:
- Mesh Dye Sublimation
- Heavy Knit Dye Sublimation
- Power Stretch Dye Sublimation
- Flag
- Poplin
- Sheer
- Poly Knit
- Poly Satin
- Poly Silk
- Poly Linen
- Poly Georgette
