“I have Smart Tank 5000 and tried to sublimate a tumbler using sublimation paper and a heat press. The image that transferred was faded. Is this printer capable of such projects or did I perhaps do something incorrectly?”

Hello and thank you for asking. HP does not make any dye sublimation ink for their consumer printers, including the Smart Tank 5000. No HP printer sold at retail is recommended for use with sublimation ink and paper. To "print" on cylindrical objects like mugs and tumblers, consider using Waterslide paper. Print, seal with clear acrylic, and transfer with water (post transfer, more coats of clear acrylic aren’t a bad idea) and you get near-identical results. Also consider setting the printer's Print Quality to Best. If you need assistance with that, contact HP Support.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
