How durable are sublimation legends?
« on: Thu, 06 August 2020, 14:58:34 »
I have a question, I want to make a design and print it by sublimation, but how long would the legend print last?

With industrial-grade equipment, it is extremely long-lasting.
Michael Wolff says he urged Epstein to release information he had on Trump, but Epstein appeared worried about what Trump would do to him.
Epstein told him, “I may be a pervert, but I’m not crazy.” Epstein continued, "Trump is a man without any scruples.”

Yep, if done properly with the proper equipment dye subbed legends will last a lifetime practically.

I believe the idea is the dye actually sinks into the plastic and becomes part of it, so in order for them to wear off you have to wear down the plastic itself.

I've seen a Model F with shiny keycaps and somewhat faded legends, so it is possible to wear dye sub off, though it will take a long, long time to wear dye-sub legends off PBT.
