The most essential question is how inexpensive and simple it is to convert the printer to sublimation, given that dedicated sublimation printers cost thousands of dollars, although far less expensive inkjet printers may be purchased for a few hundred dollars and then converted to sublimation.

Epson ET-2720

The Epson EcoTank ET-2720 is the most affordable sublimation printer on the market, and it's extremely popular among hobbyists. It's also simple to convert from an inkjet printer to a sublimation printer, making it ideal for anyone on a budget who wants to get started with sublimation printing right away.

Converting an inkjet printer to a sublimation printer takes simply a few minutes and requires only the addition of specially produced sublimation ink to produce consistently high-quality prints.

This is a significant benefit over other machines, such as the Epson Workforce 7710, which use cartridges instead of the easy-to-use ink tank design.
 

How to Use This Printer for Sublimation
 

The process of sublimation printing works by taking a special kind of ink and applying it to materials like fabric, paper, or ceramics, by heating the ink, causing it to turn into a gas that goes straight into the material, permanently dyeing it. This process is used for a lot of different things like making custom phone cases, printing on T-shirts and other clothing items, or even making your own mugs and plates.
  It's critical that you don't use the printer's standard pigment ink in the ink tanks. If you do, you'll need to thoroughly clean these tanks before using sublimation ink.

The Epson EcoTank 2720 has a significant benefit over similar models such as the Epson Workforce 7710 in that you can convert your printer to sublimation by simply adding sublimation ink directly to the printer's clean ink tanks.
