Q: Dye-Sublimation Direct To Fabricinkjet Printer (EPSON)

Yes-ish. Sublimation printers don't print white ink so you'll still be limited to light and white t-shirts when printing DTF transfers with a sublimation printer.

Direct print can be printed onto fabric up to 16' in width, allowing larger seamless backdrops or fewer seams on an extra large backdrop. Dye sublimation, on the other hand, can only be printed onto fabric up 10' wide, meaning anything bigger would require seams.

This technique offers many ADVANTAGES: This is one of the few methods that will allow printing on rigid surfaces (mugs, photo slates, plates, clocks, etc.) It's relatively simple and has a very short learning curve (fast learning process). It offers an unlimited range of colours.

There are two types of dye-sublimation printing:

Direct: Involves printing directly onto the fabric/textile.

Transfer: Involves printing onto transfer paper applied to the fabric/textile.
