Hi Uzii,

It depends on what you want to do. If you want to do dye sub, you need to buy sublimination ink.

If you want to use heat transfer sheets with heat transfer paper, you pretty much need pigment ink.

I am currently testing JPSS (jetprosofstretch paper for lights) with Canon Regular Dye ink. On the 7th wash, the last two washes with one cup of bleach each time, and I have not had any fading.

If you want to try and test the ink you have in your printer with JPSS, you can get a sample pack (3pgs) for a penny (1 cent) from tshirtsupplies.com (with low shipping) to test it out. Who knows, I never thought Canon ink would hold up.

Papers for dark shirts are only known to work with pigment inks, so if you want to do both kinds of cotton shirts, you'll need the pigment ink anyway.

Best regards, and good luck to you!

Thankx.

I have decided to buy epson C88+ and ill be getting the ink supplies from Refillable inkjet cartridge, refillable ink cartridges, ultrachrome printer inks
i have been told that the ink works well on ironall and softjet pro for lights. fading is normal after washing but depends on how much it fades. but people are happy with this printer and ink supply.
