nope still not working even with 100%polyester
Then most likely the ink set you have is NOT sublimation ink.nope still not working even with 100%polyester
Many people buy dye ink thinking it is dye sublimation ink.
For these printers there are 3 ink sets typically...
Dye ink
Pigment ink
Dye Sublimation ink
You may want to look into that.
White or light colored 100% polyester shirts are preferred.
Can you post details or a picture of your inkset?
this is the advert on eBay as the dye came with the printer

The ink on that printer IS NOT Sublimation ink, is just a regular dye ink, sorry for the bad news
The text in red is your issue. Get sublimation ink...not dye ink.this is the advert on eBay as the dye came with the printer

What you have is ink for general purpose printing. Dye ink and dye sublimation ink are not the same thing.
Someone from your part of the world will be able to offer a suggestion as to a reputable ink supplier for sublimation.
Good luck!

Yeah you'll have to, just get empty refillable cartridges for your printer and fill them with dye sublimation ink. I assume you are in the UK, you can easily find some Inktec Sublinova Smart ink, which is way cheaper than Sawgrass ink.
thanks for that ill check it out
