pigment inks are best for heat transfers because they don't run after washing like dye based inks do.

The default inks that come with the epson 3000 are dye based inks.

It looks like they sell pigment inks for the epson 3000 here, but I haven't personally tried this store or their inks: Archival color pigment inkjet inks
