It has a similar longetivity rate as sublimination, although both are subjected to damage when subjected to extremely high temperatures (325 degrees fahrenheit or higher). But yeah, those two processes are the most durable, embroidery coming in at a distant second.

my uncle has a flag factory. guess i know less of the tech than i thought. he also (i'm pretty sure) pioneered digitally printing onto fabrics so he was able to make full color flags and cost efficient 1 or two off flags without making screens... would be hard to do with t's just cuase of the shape and pre-color, but seems to work well for his business...


anyhow. i'm in, can't do art though
