[QUOTE="Deleted member 14725, post: 221381"] Several ideas a bit mixed here. Where? depends on where you live, you could try searching on FB, craiglist or even Youtube for people who do sublimation and see who is in your area. I've seen on diff countries some commercial malls having kiosks offering these services right away, even at the Walmart's exit/entrance. As I understand you just need the /art images printed on paper and you will do the rest, and if things go well it will involve more requests and work. If that's the case, and the piece of work is small, you could solve this buying a cheap Epson/Brother printer and do it yourself, depending where you live you can get them for cheap even 2nd hand, or perhaps expensive, again it depends on where you live. Dye? that's why I said several ideas mixed. There are products that allow you to use a regular printer (no sublimation ink required), but then you will need heat transfer, even Office Depot offers this service, but it's a thin layer that gets the ink and then heat transferred entirely to the fabric. It's not cheap, but it's fast and might solve an urgent job. Dye are very diff to sublimation ink, Dye refers mostly to water based ink that will go away when you wash your product. BTW, if you are just testing and making prototypes, as in "demo tshirt", you could try printing to wax paper and then pressing to the fabric, this transfer the image using any printer, it's a bit tricky and the ink will go away when washed but at least it's something you can do at home/office to solve an urgent demo job. Like this (yes, it works with color images too) but then again, it's temporary [MEDIA=youtube]6VF57Ni75mw[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
