The dyes are transparent and blend into continuous-tone color. The "sublimation" means that the dye turns into a gas without first turning into a liquid. See thermal wax transfer printer and printer.
Dr. Raphaël Boichot has managed to emulate the original Game Boy Printer using a Raspberry Pi Pico board as the main driver.
The whole setup process took me less than 2 minutes. The best feature of the M08F printer is that it doesn’t require any ink, toner, or ribbon. The only supply you need to buy is the A4 thermal paper.
