does anyone know if a direct-printable sublimation ink exists?

i don't do much printing on tackle twill, and plastisol works fine, but if it was possible to print dye sub then heat press cure it that could be a cool process.

Hi Mac

There is a company that makes screenable sublimation transfer inks,
usually available for volume printing larger than the more recently common method of digital inkjet output.
Printing Ink, Eco Friendly Inks, Sustainable Inks, Environmentally Friendly Inks, Gans Ink Sublimation
Generally, it's an indirect transfer method.
Note that there is a button at the page bottom that better explains this application.

Still, I've seen some novel, non-intentioned results come out of unorthodox methods in this industry,
but I can't officially go on record regarding this one.

You might want to search or post accross the way for additional insight.

Happy trails!
