I use it for sublimation. You will need new cartridges that are either filled with sublimation ink or empty so that you can fill them. I purchased empty ones that the chip resets when you take cartridges out to refill them. I had a CISS unit but had problems with it and I am not printer savvy enough to trouble shoot or correct the problem so, I switched to the cartridges and haven't had any problems since.

Yes if Sublimation ink is used. I use sublimation ciss ink system works great.

No it is a zero ink printer that uses special paper containing the needed chemicals to make prints similar to a Polaroid camera from the good old days.

Yes - it is a regular printer with photo capability. Mine did not last very long before it died. Have to use Canon ink only, something about chips in the cartridges or something like that.

Yes it is. I love this little printer. However I haven't hooked it up wirelessly, which I think it said it could be used wirelessly.

No, this is a VERY basic printer. I constantly have trouble with it jamming, freezing, etc. Don't waste your money.

Yes you can print anything. You have to the cut pics yourself. If you want sublimation ink you have to buy yourself. It does come with ink but if you looking to print on mugs, plates etc. That is what sublimation ink does you can print images with sublimation ink too. Sublimation ink Is just better.

This press is not for printing its for heating what up what you have already printed. If you have a sublimation printer then you can tape it to a mug, put it in the mug attachement with this press and heat it up to adhere to

I am not 100% sure but that is what i bought it for, I am just waiting for my ink to come. I do know that if you are going to try it you need sublimation ink which does not come with this printer. You should NOT use any other ink in the printer if you are going to use the sublimation ink in the machine. this process does not work on cotton materials it must be a polyester or a poly blend also there is a place that sells it cheaper i paid 169 i think

SubliJet-R Ink Cartridges are used in this printer. The printer needs special sublimation ink and sublimation paper. The ink can be bought here on amazon. This is a great printer. Have been using it for months now with no problems.

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!

Unfortunately, I can't answer this question as I purchased the printer for a donation to a non-profit organization. I do not use it.

I ultimately just tossed mine in the garbage for similar reasons. The machine is pretty much a piece of junk - good as a starter to see if sublimation is what you want to do, but not good for much else.

You can purchase sublimation inks for this printer. The factory inks are pigment based.

Yes, it is. It has the emblem on the lower right front corner. I really like the printer.

I am not certain but I am certain this is the worst printer I've ever owned. It has never printed correctly and the manufacturer will not replace it. Very poor customer service on an expensive lemon.
