Michael Kaminsky

Biography: Michael S. Kaminsky — Sublimation Expert, Educator & Industry Leader
Michael S. Kaminsky is a nationally recognized sublimation specialist with more than 30 years of hands‑on experience in digital decorating, product development, and real‑world production. As the CEO and Founder of DyeCraft Direct in Hillsborough, NJ, Michael has spent a decade building one of the most trusted names in sublimation supplies, education, and customer support.
His sublimation journey began long before the industry went mainstream. Over the years, he has mastered every stage of the process—equipment selection, color management, heat‑press fundamentals, workflow efficiency, and the science behind polymer‑based substrates. Michael is known for breaking down complex concepts into clear, practical explanations that decorators can apply immediately.
From trade shows and national workshops to one‑on‑one training sessions, Michael has taught thousands of creators how to design, print, press, troubleshoot, and profit with sublimation. His teaching style is direct, honest, and grounded in real production experience—not theory.
Throughout his career, he has:
•     Demonstrated sublimation equipment and techniques at major industry events across the United States
•     Trained beginners, hobbyists, and established businesses on best practices and workflow optimization
•     Guided countless entrepreneurs in launching or scaling their sublimation businesses
•     Built a reputation for exceptional customer service, technical knowledge, and product expertise
•     Led teams in sales, operations, and education for multiple national suppliers before founding DyeCraft Direct
Michael’s mission is simple: empower creators with the knowledge, confidence, and tools they need to succeed. His workshops deliver real answers, real techniques, and real results—backed by decades of experience and a passion for helping others grow.
