Pictography machines are not dye sublimation. They expose a doner sheet which then is sandwiched with a reciever sheet and a small amount of nearly dry processing chemistry. The image develops, and what doesn't develop transfers from the doner to the reciever. Like I said, it is very much like a peel apart Polaroid process, so close that I think there must be an agreement between the two companies. William Robb
