Converting to Dye-Sublimation

So I just bought an Epson XP-6100 for its print to CD/DVD/Blu Ray feature and got it at a discounted price...I have heard and seen examples of something called dye-sublimation printing and have read general stuff from google searches that some Epson printers can be converted to it. The examples of dye-sublimation printing I have seen have been stunning. Vivid color and sharpness like I've never seen (although I don't know if an Epson printer was used or a commercial printer...it was a small 6 by 8 " print.) Anyway, could the printer I got to be converted to that, and would I still be able to print to CD/DVD if I did?

Thanks

Commercial Dye sublimation is mainly for t-shirt transfer or similar, not for home use. However the Canon Selphy and similar are for home use, but only intended for small prints.
