Am looking at polyester and silk ties....

You can sublimate to polyester material. I sublimate on pre-made tie blanks. I believe silk is also sublimatable. Unless you want to have fabric printed by the bolt, I think sublimation is your best bet.

as I said I'm new to this industry...what exactly is sublimation? is it like transfer print?

have you got any pics of sublimated ties?

My idea is to buy raw tie fabric from china........and hold the stock with me. Then when I get orders I would print that much fabric....cut it...stitch it and supply it myself.

I'd keep polyester and silk raw fabric.

ok just read about sublimation on your site and just seen the neck tie sample...CONDE tie.

so on that tie, was the red base colour preprinted?? or was it part of the sblimation??

I didn't print that. That photo is from their web site. The tie blank is white satin so anything that is not white is printed via sublimation. I don't do many of them, so I don't have any photos of any that I've done. I should print a sample to display at shows. Maybe I'd sell more.

Search the board for "sublimation". you'll come up with days worth of reading on the topic.

i do necktie, i used polyster and satin finish tie. For better result in printing i recommned ironall paper if you have money go for sublimation process. I don't recomend transjet or jetprosofstrech in tie the result is not good it's like a plastic on tie. maybe if you wash it it will do the trick but i don't wash my tie. if you are starting and no printer check this link ein ebay
