can i use normal color laser printer and normal color laser toner powder(Ricoh 240DN) for t shirt sublimation printing?

No. You need a printer with piezo heads and sublimation inks.

You can use that printer if it has sublimation toners in it to do sublimation.
There are sublimation toners available for the Oki color printers going as far back to the c3200n models.

No good for white aluminium prints though. Laser sublimation leaves grey where the white is in your image.

You are confusing laser sublimation toners.

There are 2 types:

1. Magnetic based laser toner is for metals and often used in the trophy business. Some keep the protective plastic covering on the substrate during heat transfer to eliminate grey "ghosting", the sublimation dyes still "shoot" thru the clear protective covering and any ghosting is removed when the covering is removed, the denser sublimation dye in the design remains. These toners are typically used in B&W lasers (1 color), some do offer different colors but it's 1 color at a time in the printer.

2. Polymer based laser toner like used on OKI are general purpose and can be used on anything, including white aluminum and won't ghost if you setup correctly.

I have used both types of toners.

All you can do is try. Get free or buy sample pack from a vendor. You would not be able to transfer white of full color image because your printer does not have white toner. So you can rule out being able to use dark shirt that has white in the artwork.

However, if you use Imageclip Laser dark, replace the K toner/drum set with white laser toner/drum set, pair the laser printer with sublimation inkjet printer you can transfer full color image with white on dark shirt. It had been done with Oki color laser printer.

@sublial sells white laser toner powder refill and Kits for Oki printers. Ask him if his toner will work with your printer.

There are white toner refill at ebay. Whiite toner refill and kits for Okidata color laser printer
