Default Re: sublimation and discharge

Yes, discharge printing is a screen printing technique to thin out the weight of the design on the shirt, while (dye) sublimation printing is a type of digital printing that actually fuses the print to the molecules of the t-shirt which gives the print almost zero "hand" so you can't feel it when you run your hand over it.
