Can I use sublimation ink with this printer? null

While I cannot speak authoritatively on this, I doubt Canon printers can use sublimation ink. Canon bubblejets print by momentarily heating the ink which creates a bubble at that location, propelling a droplet of ink from the print head. This is why cheaper inks (non-gel based) end up ruining the printer. All inkjets, in contrast, use a piezo diaphragm to push ink from the print head. It is less accurate and the droplets are larger and less controlled, but because it is a physical process, ink formulation isn’t very relevant. Hence, sublimation ink works in inkjets but might be problematic in bubblejets. Sorry for the book but I hope the information is useful.
