Default Dye Sublimation Ink Question

I have been testing some self weeding transfer paper for cotton. It's from China and the ebay supplier said it works with pigment ink but better with dye sub inks. I tested it with Durabrite on my C88+ and the results were OK.

I'd like to test it with dye sub ink, especially black but don't want to have to spend $85 or so to run just one sheet of paper. The supplier says the transfer should be done withing 20 minutes of printing so having someone print the paper and send it to me won't work.

Any suggestions on how I could obtain a small quantity black dye sub ink for the C88+ and not pay a lot for it?

Thanks

Here's a link about selfweeding paper,i sent a shirt to david to conduct a wash test if you want just ask him if what is the result or just wait for the result in this forum. I think you cannot print it on black shirt only light garments.
