Welcome!

There are so many options when it comes to printers fro dye-sub. You can either go the inkjet or laser route.

Transfer Paper, Heat Press, Ink Cartridges, Copier Toner - Coastal Business Supplies & Heat Press, Transfer Paper, Sublimation Ink & More! have inkjet bundles.

Heat transfer paper, tutorials and heat presses to start a business has a lot of information.

I think the key is what type of items do you want to produce, how large are they and then what your budget is. If you don't need more than 13" wide and plan on running the printer every other day, then look at the 1400 printer. It is pretty fast and running it with a bulk system (the reason why you need to run it every other day) can be cost effective without investing that much money. If you don't want to deal with a bulk system, then I would look at the 4800. Just my opinion.
