How to Choose Sublimation Ink
Choose ink based on printer compatibility, not generic rankings.

Start with the printer
An ink recommendation is only useful when it names the printer model and whether the workflow is manufacturer-supported or a third-party conversion.
Native and converted workflows differ
Native dye-sublimation systems use their documented ink path. EcoTank conversion support in this dataset comes from third-party vendors and is not Epson endorsement.
Include color management
The relevant profile or vendor print workflow can be part of the ink-system decision. Do not assume every replacement ink shares the same profile requirements.
Changing systems requires care
Do not casually mix inks. Check what is already in the printer and follow an applicable transition procedure from the relevant manufacturer or vendor.
