Hand embroidery pattern printing

Hand (VERY basic crewel) embroidery was another thing my mother taught me. At one point some years back, I collected antiquarian catalogues of 'craftsman'-style, art-nouveau-ish patterns and tried digitizing them into good drawings, then printing them as patterns (like Aunt Martha's)!

There was a sublimation ink available then that was $15 per cartridge. It only worked with one specific kind of Epson printer that cost about $60. It was worth it to me! But suddenly a lawsuit over the ink occurred, and the ink cartridges were never sold that way again. (They were "Sawbridge," "Sawgrass," something like that?)

It was perfect! Anything I could design and print could be an iron-on embroidery pattern! Once that ink was gone (it's available, but only for refillable tanks and commercial machines, not on the small consumer level), my fun was over.

Does anyone know about this? Thanks in advance!
