The colorants in the inks primarily gravure inks are special dyes, which sublime(convert from solid to gas without going through the liquid state) at a temperature of about 400°F.

OBS

When speaking of "sublimation", "subliming" is preferable to "subliminal" (cf. Webster’s Third New International Dictionary (WEBIN), 1981, p. 2276).
