You could bet that if it did, Sawgrass would try to claim a patent on it. ;)

I know that many of those printers use a special cartridge containing layers of a cellophane type material. The printhead is heated by thousands of individual elements, that release the dye into the paper, by varying amounts.

Not sure whether you could then sublimate the image out of the resultant paper image, or whether the dye is permanently sealed in?

As they say, there is only one real way to find out. :)

Thank ya both..... I'm starting to see anything to do with sublimation in my sleep now lol. I love this forum and will be sticking around for a long time. The equipment I have is quite old, but I got it really super cheap and it all works great! It came with thousands of ready made transfers to practise with. I just got my printer (c 88+) the other day but I didn't get my ink yet. I figure if I do not like doing sub, at least I didn't spend a lot of money on it. And if I do (which I know I will love it) I can buy new equipment eventually. I had so many questions and most of them were answered in this forum. Just want to thank this forum for being here.
