Dye-sublimation printers allow you to print photo-lab-quality pictures at home. As the price of these printers go down, more and more digital-camera owners are choosing to take advantage of this technology. In dye-sublimation printing, colors are not laid down as individual dots, as is done in inkjet printers. Individual dots can be distinguished at a relatively close distance, making digital pictures look less realistic.

If you looked inside a dye-sublimation printer, you would see a long roll of transparent film that resembles sheets of red, blue, yellow, and gray colored cellophane stuck together end to end. Embedded in this film are solid dyes corresponding to the four basic colors used in printing: cyan, magenta, yellow and black. The print head heats up as it passes over the film, causing the dyes to vaporize and permeate the glossy surface of the paper before they return to solid form.

So the main difference between this and other types of printing has to do with heat. The vaporized colors permeate the surface of the paper, creating a gentle gradation at the edges of each pixel, instead of the conspicuous border between dye and paper produced by inkjets. And because the color infuses the paper, it is also less vulnerable to fading and distortion over time.

Euan is correct: Dye Sublimation (also called dye sub) is a printing technique using cellophane film. The printer is a thermal printer meaning that the amount of color is controlled by heat in the print head.

Dye sub is common in a lot of different digital printing applications but for printing on textiles I would definitively not recommend this technique. What was told is that a dye sub crock if using on textiles and never is soft-hand. DTG techniques or even a first class digital transfer with pigment inks don't do.

However; Even if you would Google on "dye sub" or "dye sublimation" it is hard to find real objective opinions on this. Most articles you'll find are not fully highlighting pro's and contras of both techniques equally.
