yes. you can but are you sure you use sublimation ink?
trupix paper is actual one of the best transfer paper for sublimation.

As just pm'd - you are using 100% cotton t-shirts so this is the problem. Sublimation ink only bonds to polyester so you have to buy special sublimation t-shirts. 100% cotton t-shirts are not suitable for sublimation printing.

I automatically thought it was the ink. I would think you would still get full transfer to cotton just it would wash out with no poly conyent. I'm sure we've done a print on cotton as a trial....... hmmm.

Some ink would gas off, but it would be very pale as well.
