Dye sublimation is a process whereby Italian company, Arsmetallo, transfers dye directly into the aluminium as decoration.

The process of sublimation can be most simply described as using heat to vaporize solid ink and turning it into a gas which can then be infused into the metal using pressure and heat. Sublimation printing is especially durable as the dye is below the coated surface.

A brushed metal look is produced by brushing the metal surface first with one abrasive belt, then with polishing it with another, softer belt. Aluminium is one of the most popular metals to receive the look which sees the surface finished with a one-directional surface roughness which continues to be shiny.

Arsmetallo can contrast brushed aluminium with 'regular' aluminium to striking effect.
