Questions such as this come up time and time again. Technically the Epson printers can print with sublimation ink, but if anything goes wrong/ fault finding/ colour matching and the rest, then you are on your own.

To get this Epson printer 'working' for sublimation then you are going to spend £240 on ink, £x on refillable carts or a CISS, £x on a colour correction profile and then you'll have to see if it all works fine.

The alternative route to be to buy a supported printer and inks, such as the Ricoh GXe3300 which is an A4 printer and fully supported for very little more money than using the other Epson.
