I am one of the members that mentioned EZtrans.
Whoever told you that you definitey need to use sublimation ink is not entirely true unless they have inkjet transfer paper that is stricly for sublimation. Maybe he is trying to sell sublimation ink. I hope that was not his motive. Sublimation ink is very expensive.
Here is a link to the EZTrans Sofstretch inkjet transfer:
EZ101 Softstretch Inkjet Transfer Paper
Please read in the bottom about ink compatability. Sublimation ink is just one of the inks that will work with the transfer paper.
Most of the product they sell are Neenah papers. Neenah is mentioned out in the open in the webpage. Neenah is the manufacuter of
JPSS. If you surf around EZtrans' website they are rebranding Neenah products by adding EZTrans with the transfer name.
If I am not mistaken the EZTrans Softstrech is rebranded
JPSS. As a matter of fact it says right on the page that its a Neenah product. Let me ask you this. Did you even tried it with your inkjet printer before you ruled out that it will not wotk for you because you were told that you definitely need sublimation ink? Testing at least one would have not hurt. It would not even hurt your printer or heatpress. You would lose the shirt. But you can use a scrap of fabric and get the same result.
BTW Neenah has anounced a central distributor in Germany that will sell their product throughout EU.
If you are interested I posted that anouncement in the laser transfer section.
