Default Re: Epson...Feh! Durabrite ink question.

What you did not tell us is what paper you were printing on. The r220 is a 6 color printer also so you use more ink and more color variation. That is an important detail you left out. So if you draw with 4 crayons can you get the same or better results with 6 crayons. As an ex epson demo rep I always thought the r200, r220, r300 were great machines but only if you wanted to print CD's. Other wise I would have gotten an all in one. One of the problems new people have in doing tee shirts and printing their own transfers is they expect to see the same picture they see on a glossy paper, It is not going to happen. I am using a c88+ with everlast pigment inks and I, as an experenced transfer paper guy have had really great results as some of the forum members will tell you. here are few pictures all made with pigment ink.
