Default confused: what kind of ink will work on a 100% cotton tee

I am sorry for asking this question because I have read about it and not gotten a clear answer, what kind of ink will work on a 100% cotton t? Will the same ink work for a 50/50 t also? I am getting ready to purchase equipment for the business and I don't want to screw it up. Thanks again.

If you're talking about inkjet transfers, pigment ink (such as Durabrite) will give you the best results. I'm pretty sure it will work on both 100% cotton and 50/50.

I use ironall transfers on both 100% & 80/20 & 50/50 & so far the ink from the printer has worked well on all. Just my experience of course.
