Sublimation according to Wikipedia is:
the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas state, without passing through the liquid state. Sublimation is an endothermic process that occurs at temperatures and pressures below a substance's triple point in its phase diagram, which corresponds to the lowest pressure at which the substance can exist as a liquid.
But to make that more simple it’s basically a type of ink that when put onto certain items such as polyester and heat is applied the image will transfer onto the product without any viny like feel!
