Default What is Dye Sublimation?

I have been designing and silk screening T-shirts since 2001 and I have heard of everything except for dye sublimation. Is this the same process they use in tye dying T-shirts? Can someone explain what exactly dye sublimation is and it's advantages and disadvantages. If possible can some of you guys also provide me with some pictures of some finished products.

Thanks,
Aqil
