Sublimation Printer

In dye sublimation printing, heat causes ink on a print to become a gas, which penetrates an expanded polyester or polymer surface of a material. When the heat is removed, the surface contracts and the ink returns to a solid form in the material.

Six years ago Michael saw brilliant ceramic tiles in an art gallery, and he immediately contacted the printer to have his own paintings printed on tiles. Since that time he has sold over 300 6x8 inch tiles. Last May Michael purchased a high resolution printer, a heat press and ceramic tiles, and created his own art printing company, Youani Arts.

The vision of Youani Arts is:

“ Youani Create Art that Brightens our World”

Michael originally planned on printing only ceramic tiles, but now prints images on glass tiles and masonite

tiles. He also prints on neck ties, and gift bags.

As well as printing images of his own paintings, Youani Arts printing services help:

Artists reproduce and sell their products of creative images at affordable price

Small businesses and non-profit groups create products to give to employees and generous supporters

Individuals create products of images of family and pets to give as gifts or keep as memories.

Michael has given printing demonstrations at art galleries, chamber of commerce meetings, and schools. He looks forward to giving presentations on the chemistry, business and creativity of sublimation printing.

“Few people have even heard of the sublimation printing, and I feel like a scientist explaining a new chemical process as well as an artist exploring a new expressive medium.”

To order an art printing product, send Michael a JPEG image and instructions. He will format the image and contact you with a price quote and estimated completion date.

The cost per piece ranges from $8- $12, with quantity discounts.

Extensive formatting, editing and words added are available at additional cost.
