Epson inkjet printers are not manufactured for sublimation ink. Users made adaptations so they can be used for sublimation. You can get discounted factory refurbished printers from Epsonstore.com at a fraction of the cost for brand new printer. It also has factory warranty to go with the printer. You just got to keep checking what is in the clearance page.

I have the R1900 myself. I love that it can print 13" wide, but I can also put in a roll of transfer paper so I can fit graphics in tight with less waste. I spent more upfront, but was confident that I wouldn't have to upgrade for a long time.
Buy what will work best for you. Most commonly used on this forum are the 1400 and 1800. Both are excellent.
It was really hard at first to get the colors to come out right with my R1900, but David got me straightened out and I haven't had a problem since.

I have a 1400. You can set it up to print dye, pigment or sublimation inks. You can print on regular paper, photo paper, transfer papers or print films for screen printing on it.
Depending on what you want to print, people can recommend what to get to setup a 1400 to do what you want.

It can be that simple almost. You can buy sublimation ink cartridges for the 1400 just like the ones that come with it, sublimation transfer paper, and a heat press the size you need and you are just about ready to sublimate.
You will need the correct printer color profile to go with the ink, paper and printer you use from the ink manufacturer. If you don't have that your colors will be off.
