Default Which printer is best on transfers, standard inkjet or Roland Versacamm

Im looking to start printing onto inkjet transfer paper and I was wondering which printer would best do the job for transfering onto t-shirts. I have access to an Epson and a Roland Versacamm. Which will give the best quality prints which are most vibrant and will last the longest.

Since you have access to both type printers why not print the same sample from both, do several wash tests, dry it, etc.

You can then determine if the results are something you would want to sell to your customers.

+1 Angela's advice. Nothing like a sample and some test washes. If you do it, will you maybe post some pictures to show how it went?

Yeah will do that. I might need to buy bigger paper to run through a versacamm. Do you know any UK based that do good inkjet transfer paper of A4 sized for standard inkjet printer and bigger to put through the Roland.
Thanks for the advice
