Default Re: Can I use this Printer HP2800

The black ink is pigment ink which is great for inkjet transfers but the color cartridges are dye based inks which could go either way. Some here have had success with dye based inks but the few that I have done with my HP faded fast. I have printed transfers with the Epson 140 0which is also dye based ink but that sample shirt did not fade as much as the Hp sample.
