For transfers? Epson really is the standard for this business and getting refillable cartridges and/or a tank system is easier with Epson.

I would definately use a laser if you're going to be doing large volumes and have no need to do sublimation.

The paper is far cheaper, and the print speed is miles higher. Also you have no issue with ink running if the shirt isn't washed correctly.

If you're just going to do the odd print, look at HP - their printers are better in the sense that you don't have to deal with Epson and the head is on the cartridge. Down side is that the ink is gonna cost you more.
