Quick query please, would a Canon IP3600 printer be suitable for sublimation inks?

Thanks

I think it needs to be a piezo head for sublimation but I may be wrong.

It does need to piezo, yes, and as far as I know Canon use a different type of head technology, but I wanted to check.
Someone has bought dye sub inks from me, and put them in a Canon ip3600 ...

not for long apparently, hence why I am asking here to check.
He does say if he puts the proper Canon carts back in it works fine.

It is only Epson & Brother who use the piezo heads so, you wouldn't be able to use a Cannon for sublimation.

Thanks guys - is what I thought, but wanted to check I was right. Would hate to tell a customer something and later find out I was wrong.
