Can I use Sublimation ink in this printer for heat transfer?

Possibly. It depends on the chemistry of the sublimation ink. Generally, sublimation implies low temperature, high volatility. How would this ink be stored in the ink cartridges? If it requires high pressure, then it would quite likely not be compatible with the print heads. Otherwise, you have corrosive properties to consider.

No, the Epson Artisan 837 is an inkjet printer not a thermal printer, which is necessary for sublimation inks and pattern heat transfers. I would recommend looking at (http://www.diyprintingsupply.com/index.asp) for more detailed info on the type of equipment you're looking for. Hope this helps you!

No ink required. This printer uses heat to print on thermal labels. So while you'll save on ink and toner you'll still need to buy the thermal labels

Yes you can. That is a feature I do not use, but I do know you can. This is a fabulous printer, and I would not hesitate to buy another one, especially now that I have continuous ink system. The colors are GREAT!

I haven't tried that, but I doubt it would work. You need a faster drying ink.

I just use my regular ink jet printer ink. I have found if pressed correctly with heat press, it turns out well. This is not the right paper for sublimation inks, but I don't know about the others you mentioned. ;) Hope this helps

No, it is a thermal label printer (ink is in the labels and is activated by heat).

Generally no. But you might google that ink and it should list what printers it is good for. Hope this helps.

Hi Mike,The question can be answered many ways, there are cheaper alternatives out there such as offbrand labels, but just a reminder, this is a THERMAL printer so your options other than offbrand labels are limited

No. You will need a specific and dedicated printer for sublimation. This sublimation printer uses both sublimation paper and sublimation ink.

Sublimation requires Sawgrass Sublijet Ink and a special sublimation paper to print the transfers on. The ink that comes with the printer is to be used for regular printing only. You can't take the ink cartridges in and out. You have to specifically use one printer for each type of application. Do not turn the printer off with sublimation ink in it. It recycles when you turn it on and wastes ink. Use it frequently or head cleaning will be required more often.

Yes you can. And the neat thing about this printer is that the instructions on how to do so are built in and you read them on the screen on the printer. No IT degree needed!

No but you can use Heat Transfer Letters if you want to print a name on the back

If there are 108 sheets of paper in the kit, then that is what it will print. A die sublimation printer prints with red cyan and yellow panels for each sheet. There are 108 panels on the die sub inking surface. That's why you can only print 108 sheets. Those panels cannot be reused because it really is not a liquid inking system. The color is "mixed" during a heating process within the printer and laid down on the paper as it moves through the "developing" process.

You could but Not recommended you need a specific temperature for the substrate. Iron press is the way to go and you need sublijet inks and polyester substrate

If you buy a piston convertor you can, or you can use disposable cartridges. I prefer bottles ink
