A:AnswerWhile I cannot speak authoritatively on this, I doubt Canon printers can use sublimation ink. Canon bubblejets print by momentarily heating the ink which creates a bubble at that location, propelling a droplet of ink from the print head. This is why cheaper inks (non-gel based) end up ruining the printer. All inkjets, in contrast, use a piezo diaphragm to push ink from the print head. It is less accurate and the droplets are larger and less controlled, but because it is a physical process, ink formulation isn’t very relevant. Hence, sublimation ink works in inkjets but might be problematic in bubblejets.
Sorry for the book but I hope the information is useful.
A:AnswerEach ink port has a distinct shape that matches the intended colors bottle top. I have bought only the canon brand ink bottles. They seem to have the bottle neck and top molded to the bottle itself, so not impossible, but difficult to interchange. Maybe a 3D printer or probably some way to press the port open and pour ink rather than the fitted top? Great little printer and they are not lying about the 2000+ pages per ink refill!
A:Answer3 colors, 1 black. They give you enough tank to fill each tank one time. I am not sure of the exact cost of the ink colors. But they are reasonable, much better option than cartridges. I am not impressed with the printer, it’s very lightweight and very noisy. We’ll see how long it lasts
A:AnswerWater slides and printable are basically all I print on. I think they come out beautiful. You just have to remember to let the ink dry then spray with clear spray paint because it is not a laser printer
