For sublimation printing, you'll need an inkjet printer with dye sublimation inks, sublimation transfer paper and subli-ready mugs.
There are also special laser transfer papers, like Nenah's mugs 'n more, and Forever's Multitrans, which can be used to print on normal (non-subli-ready) mugs. You'll need a laser printer of course, and a "mug glazer" after pressing.
