OK, you say you're looking for a "Sublimation inkjet printer" - if that is true, then ignore anything labeled as Pigment based or Dye based, because those are not for sublimation work. You want to look for ink that specifically says it is for sublimation - it may also be called "high temp ink". You'll need a separate printer for doing sub work as you wont' be able to swap back and forth between ink types (well, you can - but you'll waste so much ink flushing out the system that it's usually cheaper to buy a second printer). There are only a couple of brands of printers that support sub ink, due to the way they distribute the ink - most HP, Cannon, Etc. printers use heat to spray the ink and that will not work - you need a printer specifically designed for sub inks, such as the Ricoh - or an Epson. You can retrofit most Epson printers to work with sub inks and you can add CISS to most models. If you check the big auction site you can find CISS retrofit kits for <$40. Or, go to the CISS experts at www.cobraink.com - just be sure to tell them that you want to do sublimation work. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
