Sublimation ink?

Sounds like something that might be used for iron on transfer or maybe you bought something used for a special printer.

It was just bottles of ink for a standard inkjet, I guess the seller screwed up, or maybe I could have chosen a different ink. Actually, here's one, and this isn't sublimation ink. It's not the one I bought, this one is stupidly expensive, I pay 1p a ml.

correct.

it doesn't. It applies to dye sublimation printers.

If it works why worry? Brian

the word sublimation meant changing from solid to gas without being liquid inbetween. How does this apply to standard inkjet ink?

I don't think it does apply to standard inkjet ink.

See this article about dye-sublimation printers:

It starts:

A dye-sublimation printer is a computer printer which uses heat to transfer dye onto materials such as a plastic, card, paper, or fabric. The sublimation name was first applied because the dye was considered to make the transition between the solid and gas states without going through a liquid stage. This understanding of the process was later shown to be incorrect. There is some liquifying of the dye. Since then, the process is sometimes known as dye-diffusion, though this has not eliminated the original name. Many consumer and professional dye-sublimation printers are designed and used for producing photographic prints, ID cards, clothing, and more.

I have no idea whether dye-sublimation ink would work in a normal inkjet printer.

(dye)Sublimation printers are not the same as inkjet ones

I guess it was named wrongly then, as it came as a liquid in 100ml bottles.

Correctness, completeness, etc.

I can't see me getting a solid fed to the nozzles, unless something heated it and made a gas first.
