Is all sublimation ink the same? Is Epson compatible with sublimation ink?

You need special ink for sublimation. Not all sublimation ink is the same, there is a different density for different types of sublimation ink, and in different models, different suppliers’ ink has different color tones and different stability. You can not use any kind of sublimation ink, you have to use match ink. Tell the supplier what printer and head you use, what process of printing you do, what kind of fabric you do, and what application, and then you can get a matching ink. Epson is compatible with sublimation ink. Also Roland and Mimaki.

What is the difference between sublimation ink and regular ink?

Can you switch from regular ink to sublimation ink?
