No, other printer mfg's would not use Durabrite ink, that is an Epson ink brandname.

In reading posts on the forum, the Espon models C88+, C120, 1800, and 1900 are were given positive marks.
My question is this. Would any model Epson printer that uses durabrite inks work just fine? | | | | | | |
Yes. You could look on epson.com at the models for detailed specs, including inks.
Some people experience "color shifting" with Durabrite. I use that ink and personally have not had it happen, but if you look up "durabrite color shifting" you will find the feedback on user's that do experience this phenomenon.

I am just a hobbyist and I have been looking at some all in one models: NX300, NX400, NX500, and NX600. I have also looked at the Workforce 30 which is just a printer that uses durabrite inks. The transfers that I have done for family and friends using an HP Deskjet have faded after washing; hopefully a transfer with durabrite inks would not significantly fade.
Thank you for any input. | | | | | | |
Paper, ink and shirt will all contribute equally to a quality product that does not fade.
I like Jetprosofstretch (
JPSS) paper for light shirts, for it's colorfast ability, even with my Canon photographic regular dye ink. It's an awesome paper. Have even bleached the shirts half a dozen times with no color loss.
Good luck, hope this helps.
