Sublimation printing is used to apply decorative images onto the aluminum slats of Optimus ceiling systems. The technology ensures high pattern detail, abrasion resistance, and the ability to reproduce wood, stone, and metal textures as well as custom graphics.
Sublimation printing is used to apply decorative images onto the aluminum elements of Optimus ceiling systems. The technology allows natural material textures, graphic compositions, and custom design solutions to be reproduced with high detail.
What is Sublimation Printing
Sublimation printing is a technology for transferring dye onto a material surface under the influence of heat and pressure.
When heated, the dye converts to a gaseous state and penetrates the upper layer of the prepared polymer coating, forming a durable decorative image.
How the Coating is Applied
- Preparation of the aluminum slat surface;
- Printing the image onto specialist paper;
- Transferring the image in a heat press;
- Fixing the pattern into the surface coating layer.
The process is carried out at a temperature of 180–200°C with consistent pressure maintained throughout.
Coating Properties
- high image detail;
- moisture resistance;
- abrasion resistance;
- color retention during use;
- resistance to standard cleaning products.
Design Possibilities
Full-color image at 1440 dpi resolution
Textures that can be visually reproduced with high detail: wood, stone, concrete.
Precise decorative imitations: oak, concrete, marble, metal.
The technology allows the application of:
- wood texture;
- stone texture;
- metallic effects;
- custom graphics;
- branded imagery.
Where the Coating is Used
Sublimation printing is used in projects that require a custom visual solution:
- retail spaces;
- restaurants;
- hotels;
- offices;
- public areas.
Operational Features
The surface is easy to clean, retains its decorative properties, and is designed for long-term use in interior systems.
