It's useable in any Epson, but is useless for our purposes.

Dye sublimation ink works by printing onto a piece of paper. Then the
paper is placed in contact with either a polyester fabric, or a
polymer coated object and heated to around 400F. The dyes in the ink
vaporize, and when they hit the polymer they go directly from gas to
solid, hence "sublimation". If the object is not coated with a
polymer, nothing gets transfered.
