A dye-sublimation printer is a computer printer which employs a printing process that uses heat to transfer dye to a medium such as a plastic card, printer paper or poster paper. The process is usually to lay one color at a time using a ribbon that has color panels. Most dye-sublimation printers use CMYK colors. Many consumer and professional dye-sublimation printers are designed and used for producing photographic prints.
Some advantages of dye-sublimation printers are increased resolution and shelf life for the printouts. Also, printouts from dye-sublimation printers are water proof within a very short time period of being printed.
