Can you do sublimation on socks?
Yes, you can definitely do sublimation on socks, but only on polyester or high-polyester blends (≥65% polyester), ideally white/light-colored ones.
How It Works
Sublimation uses heat (385–400°F / 195–205°C) and pressure to turn solid dye into gas, which bonds permanently with polyester fibers-no peeling or fading.
New Mosheng XMS-Y450 Socks Printing Machine is specifically engineered to make this process incredibly easy and efficient.
Here is why the XMS-Y450 is a game-changer for sock sublimation:
