    Can you sublimate on spunbond polypropylene?

    Hello,

    I've heard a lot about sublimation on polyester and was just wondering if you could also sublimate on 50-70gsm spunbond polypropylene (a non woven material)?

    Thanks!

    I would think you could. Might have to fiddle with the heat level and time as I believe it is quite a thin material but should take a print. How well though is a different question.

    Thank you Andrew and logobear for your responses, much appreciated! I will pass the advice along to the company that I was working for during the holidays.

    Fabric wholesalers send out samples (usually free) - so get a sample and test it.
