I do engraving and some heat pressing of shirts and such.  I would love to start sublimating...could do more promo items as well as some cooler awards.  What is the difference in the ink I use now in my 1100 and what I would need to sublimate on mugs, plastics and such.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Will I need to buy another printer for this or can the stock inks work or can I get inks that will do both to work in my 1100.
Thank you in advance Smiley

Tim,

The ink is different than the pigment for heat transfer and can't be intermingled.

There is a topic where I have been actively trying to explain all the facts about sublimation.

There is also a sponsor of the forum that has an educational site. here is the link.
