Arrow Pigment VS Dye ink

For Sublimation on shirts can you use regular oem Pigment cartriges. Im not talking about the Dye cheaper ones. Im talking pigment. Is it possible to use that type of ink for dye sub on a shirt? What will happen if you do will it fade? Can you use a certain type of paper with pigment ink and be able to use on polyiester t's???

No. The process of dye sublimation requires a different type of ink entirely. It's usually more expensive than normal inks, but regular inks simply don't work for sublimating.

I realize that I will have to use Sub ink on the shirts. I thought someone had said something about the oem pigment once. OH well just checking. Thanx Twinge.

It may have been referring to about normal heat transfer as opposed to dye sublimation. You (or they) may have confused the two at the time, easy enough mistake to make.
