PROSES SUBLIMASI PRINTING PADA PRODUKSI JERSEY DI KONVEKSI LIMO SPORTWEAR APPAREL KOTA PADANG

This study is motivated by the critical importance of production technique selection in the jersey garment industry, particularly the use of sublimation printing, which enables sharp, vibrant, and long-lasting prints. Limo (Sportwear Apparel), a garment manufacturer in Padang City, employs sublimation printing technology using a modern Rolling Press (Heat Press Roll-to-Roll) machine, recognized for its superior efficiency and uniformity compared to manual press machines. This research aims to provide a comprehensive description of the sublimation printing process in jersey production at Limo (Sportwear Apparel).A qualitative descriptive method was employed, utilizing both primary and secondary data sources. Data analysis techniques incorporate data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Data validity was ensured through prolonged engagement, persistent observation, triangulation, peer debriefing, and audit trails.The findings reveal that the sublimation printing process consists of three key stages: (1) the preparation stage, involving the selection of tools and materials along with digital design creation; (2) the production stage, encompassing design setup, printing using an Epson F-Series printer, and design transfer onto polyester fabric using a Heat Press Roll-to-Roll machine; and (3) the finishing stage, comprising print quality inspection and fabric cutting according to the jersey pattern. The entire process is executed by five workers with a well-structured division of labor, thereby optimizing production efficiency and output quality.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the critical importance of production technique selection in the jersey garment industry, particularly the use of sublimation printing, which enables sharp, vibrant, and long-lasting prints. Limo (Sportwear Apparel), a garment manufacturer in Padang City, employs sublimation printing technology using a modern Rolling Press (Heat Press Roll-to-Roll) machine, recognized for its superior efficiency and uniformity compared to manual press machines. This research aims to provide a comprehensive description of the sublimation printing process in jersey production at Limo (Sportwear Apparel).A qualitative descriptive method was employed, utilizing both primary and secondary data sources. Data analysis techniques incorporate data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Data validity was ensured through prolonged engagement, persistent observation, triangulation, peer debriefing, and audit trails.The findings reveal that the sublimation printing process consists of three key stages: (1) the preparation stage, involving the selection of tools and materials along with digital design creation; (2) the production stage, encompassing design setup, printing using an Epson F-Series printer, and design transfer onto polyester fabric using a Heat Press Roll-to-Roll machine; and (3) the finishing stage, comprising print quality inspection and fabric cutting according to the jersey pattern. The entire process is executed by five workers with a well-structured division of labor, thereby optimizing production efficiency and output quality.
