Just bought a 1400 epson thinking about going with the bulk pigment dye system off ebay for $100 not sure which way to go. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Best place to get transfer paper.

Called SuperJet USA. What do you guys think of this brand

Chani · January 28th, 2008

What I think might to be done is to buy a bulk ink SYSTEM, and then buy the ink seperately from somewhere that specializes in heat transfer ink as not all inks are made the same, and some inks, even pigment inks, will discolor when you press them. With Epson DURABrite inks, for example, black and grey turn green.

Unless someone knows of a place to buy a CIS for the 1400 that also specializes in heat transfer inks.

I'm leaning toward the 1400 now that I've tested Jet-Pro SofStretch.

That's the transfer paper I'll buy, and I'll get it from Coastal Business Supplies.

For an opaque transfer I'd like to use IronAll Dark, but I'm having a bit of a difficult time using it with our plotter.

I don't know if things have changed much, but here's a thread for you anyway. If you buy one and it works, will you update this thread for us?

why are you paying so much for cis systems?

As for SuperJet I have two of their systems, one on my 1400 and one on my 1800 both are abour 6 months old and no problems what so ever with leakage or clogging. I am running sublimation ink on the 1400 and pigment on the 1800.

Alpha has a system using their magic flow system and heat transfer inks.

Well Guys I ordered the cis pigment from SuperJet, Should have it in a few days. Someone told me that a company called Global Impressions also have pretty good paper. Im gonna shop around , plus Best Blanks is about 20 mins from my home. What do you guys use for software . Friends say all i need is photo shop.

Chani · February 1st, 2008

For paper, I HIGHLY recommend you try Jet-Pro SofStretch from Coastal Business. They're one of our forum's sponsors and offer a discount to members.

For software, we use CorelDRAW X3.

Thankyou Chani.

I grew up using Corel for software and the new version X4 can actually enhance low res images in photo paint. You can d/l a 15 day trial direct from Corel.com

It is either dye or pigment. The 1400 is dye ink.
