Sublimation is a printing technique that uses heat to transfer a design onto a substrate, such as a cutting board. The design is first printed onto sublimation paper using special sublimation inks. The sublimation paper is then placed on the cutting board and heat is applied, causing the inks to turn into a gas and penetrate the surface of the cutting board.
Sublimation is a great way to add custom designs to cutting boards, and it is also a relatively inexpensive process. However, it is important to note that sublimation can only be used on substrates that are made of materials that can withstand high temperatures, such as ceramic, metal, or glass. Cutting boards made of wood or plastic are not suitable for sublimation.
