Note: This list is incomplete, you can help the forums by contributing to it! Have a favourite heat transfer thread? Post it up!

The above threads are not necessarily definitive, I'm sure there are other great threads on the topics. So if you have better threads that answer the above questions, feel free to post those too.

We want a few of the best threads on each topic, so when better examples are found we can replace the weaker ones with those.

What's the difference between pigmented inks and dye-based inks?

(I think Lou did another thread that was similar a while back that may be a little more in-depth, but the pictures give a pretty good idea.)
