Dye Sub Printer

[Cefn Hoile]

Does anyone know of a (Professional) Dye Sublimation printer which CUPS supports? I'd like to get one which I could get working with with Debian/Ubuntu. I'm finding it impossible to discover one with my usual web search methods.

Alternatively if anyone has a clue how to make a Mitsubishi D70DW Dye Sub printer accept print jobs from linux, (perhaps using a driver intended for a different device, or using some kind of raw communications) then I could use a printer which is already available to me.

The aim of using a Dye Sub printer with linux is to be able to automate the printing of high-quality images using a dedicated host machine configured with console scripts for this job. Regular printers won't meet the demands of the collaborators I'm working with in terms of quality or capacity.

I'd welcome any contributions at all if anyone out there has experience of CUPS with Dye Sub printers, in particular the Mitsubishi D70DW or equivalent.
