A dye-sublimation printer is a computer printer which uses heat to transfer dye onto materials such as a plastic, card, paper, or fabric.
The sublimation name was first applied because the dye was considered to make the transition between the solid and gas states without going through a liquid stage.
This understanding of the process was later shown to be incorrect, as there is some liquefying of the dye. Since then, the proper name for the process became to be known as dye-diffusion, though this has not eliminated the original name.
A Braille printer is an impact device that creates tactile dots on heavy paper, making written documents accessible to blind individuals.
