Does sublimation printing fade over time?

Properly applied sublimation prints do not fade under normal use and washing. Because the ink is embedded within the fabric fibers rather than sitting on the surface, it is not susceptible to friction, peeling, or UV degradation. With proper care, a quality sublimation rash guard will maintain its colour for several years of regular training.

Is sublimation suitable for BJJ and MMA rash guards?

Sublimation is the preferred printing method for BJJ and MMA rash guards. The high-stretch demands of grappling sports require a print that can move with the fabric without cracking or separating — which is precisely what sublimation provides.

What is the difference between a lycra surf shirt and a rash guard?

Which is better for surfing: a lycra surf shirt or a rash guard?

For surf schools, beginners, and casual sessions in warm conditions, a lycra surf shirt is usually the better choice. For heavy surf, reef breaks, and high-performance surfing, a rash guard's tighter fit and greater durability make it the preferred option.

Sublimation printing embeds ink directly into the fabric fibers rather than sitting on the surface. This means the design won't crack, peel, or fade — even with constant saltwater exposure, UV radiation, and repeated washing. It also preserves the garment's stretch and breathability.
