Default Transfers from HP Officejet

Hello,

I have been doing graphic designs for posters on Coreldraw for one of my clients. She would like to turn that image into a trasfers.

I deal strictly in Swarovaski Transfers but would love to give the graphic side of it a try.

Was reading about JPSS, how would that work on my HP Officejet Pro L7780 All-in-One? I use HP88XL ink. Any suggestions?

Looking for an affordable way to start, I already have the heatpress.

Thank you in advance, Cheryl

Noy sure about the HP but it needs to be pigmented otherwise you risk the ink washing out. Check with HP to see if pigmented ink. Hope this helps.

For the most part, HP inks are very water soluble. Also, if you print very much, cartridge prices will eat your lunch. A good bulk ink and bulk ink delivery system reduces cost about 85%.

Pigment inks only wash slightly better than top of the line dye inks.

There is a trade-off with both. Pigment inks wash a bit better than dye inks and dye inks are brighter than pigment inks.

As is true in much of this industry, there are trade-offs and options, to say nothing of preferences.

Staples very often has the Epson 1400 on sale for 199.00 then you can get a bulk ink system for that printer, I use piment ink with no problems but like Jack said from alpha supply there are trade offs, alpha supply has a bulk system with good inks for the epson. good way to start out.
