Abstract
A method of printing design seamlessly on clothing, and clothing obtained thereby are provided. The method includes steps of placing a cylindrical cover around a print cylinder, placing a print medium, on which a design is printed, around the cylindrical cover, placing a cloth around print medium, and heating the print medium so that the print medium and the cloth are heated and the design is transferred from the print medium to the cloth. The transfer of the design is done by sublimation of dye, which forms the design, induced by the step of heating. The cloth is subsequently cooled and flipped.
