I have an HP office jet 6962 all-in-one. I would like to use it to do sublimation projects but don't seem to find a way to use the proper inks I need to use in this product.  Does anyone have any info on this problem? 

Thank you

Hi @MiMi3468,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

I understand the HP OfficeJet 6960 series, including the HP OfficeJet 6962 All-In-One, is not designed for sublimation printing. Sublimation printing requires special dye-sublimation inks, which are specifically made to transfer onto surfaces like fabric, ceramics, and other coated materials. These printers use thermal inkjet technology, which isn't compatible with the heat required for sublimation inks.

 

Recommendations for Sublimation Printing:


HP Smart Tank 7300 series:

 

While HP does not offer sublimation inks for their printers, their Smart Tank series (like the HP Smart Tank 7300 you mentioned) uses a refillable ink system, which makes it suitable for regular printing. However, you'll still need to purchase a printer designed for sublimation if you're set on sublimation projects.

 

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
