It will depend a lot on what you are printing on.

Sublimation is used for 100% polyester light colored garments.

The Epson Ultracrome is a pigment ink, like the durabrite is. Epson does not make a durabrite cartridge for these R printers.

You can get 3rd party continuous inks systems or 3rd party refillable cartridges that can use either 3rd party sublimation or 3rd party pigment inks.
