Hi, was wondering if i can use Sublimation Ink in my HP ENVY 5660 Printer, along with the Sublimation Paper

Thanks

Not recommended. HP uses thermal inkjet technology for printing where printhead nozzles get hot to "spray" hot ink on the paper. Sublimation ink can't withstand high temperature that's why the best option for sublimation are Epson printers that use cold piezo-electric technology to "spray" ink on the paper.

Most manufacturers of sublimation printers use Epson printheads in their sublimation printers, they don't produce their own printheads.

Hello,

 

I am afraid, the printer does not support sublimation ink.
