I've printed on many things but never a tile.By tile do you mean a tile like on the floor or on a backsplash in the bathroom?I may be wrong but if the tile is not pourus I don,t think it will work because the ink needs to sink in to the object.If your talking about stone soaker coasters they print great and you can buy them from direct2shirt.

Tiles can be printed via dye-sublimation, however, you can not use any tile, there have been tiles developed with a sublimation coating. I'm not in the states, but here is a link to a shop that stocks the tiles:
Sublimation Tiles

True you can print special coated tiles with sublimation process BUT I do not think any DTG uses sublimation ink. Most of us use Epsons or the Ricoh that have recently come out for sublimation and chromablast. Some use laser printers with sublimation toners

The netflex zero dtg printer uses solvents to print on substrates like tiles.

Pro World has a paper called One Step Select that I use in my color laser printer to print on
mugs & it works great, it may works on tiles but I don't know. If I were you I would contact
them at 800-678-8289 or www.proworldinc.com
