Sublimation socks are a type of sock that features designs or patterns created using a sublimation printing process. Sublimation printing is a method that involves transferring dyes onto materials such as textiles using heat and pressure. Here's how sublimation socks work and some key aspects: Sublimation Printing Process : Sublimation printing involves the use of special dyes that sublimate, or transition directly from a solid to a gas, when exposed to heat and pressure. The design is first printed onto a special transfer paper using sublimation inks. The transfer paper is then placed onto the surface of the sock, and heat and pressure are applied using a heat press machine. The dyes on the transfer paper vaporize and permeate the fibers of the sock material, resulting in a permanent, high-quality, and vibrant print. Customization : One of the main advantages of sublimation socks is their ability to be fully customized. Designers and manufacturers can cr

Substance use disorders travel along a continuum. This progression can be measured by the amount, frequency and context of a person
