Winter presents unique challenges for event photographers, especially when moving between venues with delicate equipment. Dye-sublimation printers, essential for on-site printing, are particularly vulnerable to cold temperatures. Without proper precautions, cold weather can lead to performance issues, costly malfunctions, and even damage your media.

As your imaging partner, we’re here to help you protect your dye-sublimation printer and ensure smooth operation, no matter the weather.

Why Cold Weather Affects Your Printer?

Dye-sublimation printers rely on heat to transfer dye onto paper, making them sensitive to temperature fluctuations. While cold temperatures alone don’t necessarily harm your printer, condensation is the real threat.

When printers and media are stored in cold environments - such as garages, basements, or unheated vehicles - moisture can build up inside as temperatures rise.
