ink other than durabrite for printing heat transfers?
This company has been mentioned and they have a generic ink for the Epson printers that is said to be pigment ink. You may want to call and confirm or someone here may have experience with them.
i used some dye sublimation ink available here in philippines but it seemed like the red turn into somewhat palelike red and it bleeds in the first washing

I have no first hand experience with dyesub, but, were you using 100% cotton shirts? You need mostly poly or 100% poly material for dye sub to work correctly.
I believe there is also a special paper for this method.
If you are interested you can search the Dye Sub section of these forums. If you have the ink available to you, it may be worth checking into this method of printing.
is there any inks that i can use other than durabrite for my printing that is more cheaper??
hi alvin! based on some of the posts here, we can use pigment ink. pigment ink is still a little bit more pricey than the usual dye ink but, well, if you want quality you can try this. do you have a cis system?

yap i do have cis system. so where can i buy it?? is it truly a replcement for durabrite??
not exactly a replacement if you mean it in terms of it being equivalent to each other. it is a cheaper alternative and it is water proof. i also tried printing with dye and is currently testing it. it didnt bleed or something like that but i still need to do a couple more washes.
where are you located? are you familiar with gilmore?

A lot of people use Magic Mix inks from TLM Supply House and like them pretty well. You can order pre-filled cartidges from her or bulk inks for a CIS system.
