New, what's the best quality sublimation printers, inks & supplies

[fastnugly]

Trying to learn the fastest and highest quality sublimation printers, inks & supplies. We will be sublimation printing 44" to 60" wide canvas and nylon. What inks hold up the best and what printer has the best color?

We are going to need a rotary drum press and a printer by the way, if anyone knows a place getting rid of this.

Thanks for your help!

When it comes to textiles, the vast majority of the media that is being printed using dye sublimation and direct disperse inks is polyester textiles. There is a great variety of polyester textile products available for these ink chemistries.

Nylon is a far more specialized media, and it requires more post-print processing. Acid ink is needed to print on nylon, and after printing, there is a steaming process needed, that is followed by washing and then drying.

Art canvas is more adaptable to various ink chemistries, including aqueous pigment, solvent pigment, latex pigment, and aqueous dye inks.

Thank you for the info, I will look more into the acid ink process.

Check into Dupont for nylon printers. That's what we use but I'm not sure which specific ones they are. I do know they're 72". Like fastnugly mentioned, you'll need separate machines for steaming and washing.
