Since I dont really like how the colors come out with my pigment CIS on my epson 1400 on JPSS paper, I want to use claria inks because I have had very successful results with it.
My question, is if there is any 3rd party inks that match claria? If so where am i able to purchase this ink? I have tried searching but couldnt find much.
shopdyesub.com but i havent used there claria oem yet,but have used there pigment,but i also have had gr8 results from the claria genuine inks,and am thinking of buying bulk from them,if you know of any other suppliers let meknow..mike
Thanks alot mike. I'm going to have to check into them. I pretty much dont like pigment anymore lol. With JPSS and Claria inks, I have exceptional results, no color shifting no bleeding, no fading! its just too awesome.

You don't have to resort to dye ink in order to get away from the color shifting. Simply purchase refillable carts and use heat transfer ink. It is pigment, has excellent washability AND you will not have any color shifting, bleeding, fading or anything!
Just go to inkjetcarts.us or inksupply.com and look for their heat transfer ink. I switched a few months ago, and WOULD NEVER, EVER USE DURABRITE INK AGAIN!!!
these are the same people i buy my paper from,so this jpss, is it better than the double green line hot peel paper?is it the stretchability?
JPSS is THE ULTIMATE inkjet transfer paper. It stretches, it has next to no hand (feel) which is even softer after being washed, and has excellent color retention and vibrancy. For more details go to the Transfer Paper Testing thread, and read/see for yourself....
thanx mellisa,just turned out a couple of shirts with claria ink and washed and they both had the runs,and dura brite always fades,appreciate the info,if anyone else has any info on ink i would much appreciate it,i've been strugling with which ink to chose and REALLY NEED A GOOD RELIABLE SUPPLIER OF INK THAT HAS DURABILITY...THANX

Did you print on jpss and the claria started to run?
well it was hanes 100% cotton,the ink is oem durabrite (but have the same fading with genuine ink),paper was double green line paper,im kinda new to this so any suggestions would be appreciated
I finally found my camera and Here are some pictures I did with Claria. The 2 images are on the same shirt and the shirt was washed 7 times. On this shirt I printed one image with Claria Dye Ink, and then another image on the same shirt with pigment Inks. Take a look and see for yourself
As you can see there is no fading at all. And the inks did not run!
With these inkjetfly pigment inks, the colors shifted and it faded.
This a shirt I did for my dads business, I also printed this with Claria Dye ink and it was washed once, I need to wash it again. its kinda dirty.
Oh! I also almost forgot to mention, these shirts were printed with JPSS Transfer Paper

Thanks for your answer, Mike, try out Jetpro. There's no fading with durabrite. I'm also testing a 50/50 shirt with Canon OEM dye ink, and I've had no fade yet, so Jetpro maybe be more of a wonder paper than we first realized. The color retention on this paper is amazing. Alot of us are washing against normal transfer instructions (cold water, low temp dry), we're washing warm to hot and drying hot, and not losing color.
Try it you'll like it. They we can say, "Mikey likes it! He likes it!" Is anyone here old enough for that???
Paper is as important as your ink.

Hey, Ivan, I'm editing my post here. I see now these are aftermarket 3rd party inks. Are they bulk or carts?
If this Claria dye works out, my hat is off to you for going out there and just going for it. I'm also super happy you use Jetpro, too, so you ended up testing it with that paper. Thanks again, for I am a certified wash test junkie. Haveaa nice weekend.
Claria Bulk ink?
