Basically anodizing opens up the aluminum to accept the dye. You can screen print or digitally print dye sublimation inks and then transfer these into the aluminum like a regular anodizing dye.

Colors Inc here in Indy is a great sponsor of central Indiana Teams. They same day anodize parts for teams here. They also have the capability to print dye sub inks and transfer to AI parts.
