Default Can I use my Stylus Pro 7800 To print Heat Transfers??

Hey guys,

We have a 7800 here at our shop and just wondering if we can print on heat transfer paper with it? Does it use the right ink etc?

Any help would be great!

Greg

If you look your printer up on Epson.com, it will tell you what kind of ink it uses.

If it uses a pigment ink, you will be able to use it to print, and use any paper that you prefer.

If it uses Claria ink, you may be able to use it with any paper you like, as that is a "water resistant" dye ink. Many folks have had success with various papers, keep the saturation low as red and black have occassionally been noted to run, and reducing the amount of ink that prints onto the paper almost always resolves it.

If it uses a regular photographic dye ink, you may still be able to use JPSS(Jetpro sofstretch) paper. I have used JPSS with Canon regular photographic dye ink and it did not fade. I bleached it many times, and it still did not fade. Here are some photos:
Wow! Jetprosofstretch JPSS & Bleach Results -pictures - dye and pigment ink - T-Shirt Forums

The last note is, regular photographic dye ink usually fades in the wash when used with heat transfer paper, unless that paper is JPSS - test you ink to be sure it won't fade if you have dye ink.

Hey Guys,

Our 7800 uses Epson UltraChrome K3™ Ink. Not sure what type of ink that is?

Yes you can use the ultrachrome inks. I have a 4800 and it uses the regular ultrchrome ink. You will have awesome prints. Just remember to set it to the highest resolution and use a plain paper setting.
