[QUOTE="christineber, post: 220402, member: 18683"] To everything, yes. But... Only piezo print heads (such those from Epson and Brother) can employ sublimation ink, which is activated by heat and transformed into "vapour." Yes, you could print on paper, DVD, and other media. The problem is that the end product will be dreadful since the colours will be lifeless and opaque unless you use heat (very high temperatures) to release and fix the colour. Printing on specific paper and then applying it to a particular surface using a heat press is the standard procedure. Is it possible to print straight on regular paper and DVD? Yes, but, as previously said, it will not appear cool or acceptable. Is it possible to print on regular paper and then heat it? yes and everything will be OK. It's possible that you're getting conflicting information about sublimation and pigment inks. [/QUOTE]
