Just got a epson 1400 printer and got some sublimation paper. I try to heat transfer at 400 for about 1 min and not a single thing transfers. Is there a special ink I need to do this process. I was told no. Can someone help, please. I am using the 6 color cartridges that came with the printer.

For sublimation Paper you will need sublimation ink just search the threads for sublimation ink. For regular ink you nee ink jet heat transfer paper. Hope this helps.

First question being WHO TOLD YOU NO on sublimation inks?

Before you spend another dime you need to understand the fundamental differences between sublimation and inkjet transfers.

It isnt just the inks but the actual fabrics involved in both methods of transfer printing.

Just do a bit research on this forum and ask questions.

If you want to print transfers with your current Epson Claria inks in that 1400 you need to look at inkjet transfers.

A good paper to start with is Jet Pro Soft Stretch.
