Their patent can only be for A sublimation process - sublimation ink and dysperse dyes have existed longer than Sawgrass.

they have but sawgras patented first other were rather silly.

Mags, I'd be interested in your feedback after reporting the inks I posted earlier in this thread.

Keep watching them

I'm referring to the website Mags, eBay is a different kettle of fish. VeRO status puts all the power in the account holders hand, rightly or wrongly.

What exactly is innovative about a 'method'?

Seems you sell the same ink as I do Pisquee

Yup, started selling Inktec on Ebay back in 2011, when there was very little sublimation ink on there, and what was there was cheap unbranded Chinese stuff. I was the only one selling a quality brand and surviving Sawgrass' idle threats. I was doing very well, before loads of other sellers noticed and copied, with the bottom then falling out of the market, and I had the best match for "sublimation ink" for a few years, until our main business got too busy to concentrate on it, and keep up with all the ink sales/advice enquiries, especially when some calls were over half an hour and then I could see from feedbacks that they went and bought from another seller! Have recently decided to get back in the game though.

Yip I know ive been selling inktec for many years also as well as pigement ink and as a epson authorised reseller and engineer its a nightmare lol. I also was undercut by a couple of people and had to drop my prices I also sell a higher end ink but only to the very large format guys with fast machnes like the Monna Lisa proper sublimation kit . I sell the epson machine too obviously with epson sublimation ink .
