It depends what you are pressing to. Sublimation is generally used for hard surfaces (mugs, tiles, plaques, etc). You can use regular ink with heat transfer paper to fabrics like t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies.

It depends on what you are printing with. MOST heat transfers are compatible with standard inkjet ink. However, if you're using sublimation sheets, then you may need sublimation ink.
