A process for printing substrates with sublimation dyes comprises coating the substrate with successive polymeric coatings, the first of which include inorganic filler particles contained in a binder polymer that functions as a barrier to the dyes, preventing them from entering the substrate. The second, outer coating, has an affinity for the dyes, facilitating printing on them. The process is particularly useful for printing polymeric foamed and elastomeric substrates.

A process for printing a foamed polymeric substrate with a sublimation dye comprising: applying a first coating to said substrate, said coating comprising inorganic filler particles mixed with a binder polymer, said filler particles being present on a weight basis on the ratio of said filler particles to said binder particles of from about 1:1 to about 10:1; thereafter applying a second coating comprising a polymer having an affinity for said dye and a Shore D hardness of about 30 to about 70, and subsequently imprinting said second coating with said dye, wherein said binder polymer and the polymer in said second coating are thermosetting polymers.
