What am I looking for in ink?

If I buy an Epson 1400 off-the-shelf, does it include the ink I need to do heat transfers? Or am I looking at purchasing separate "special" ink?

I used the ink that came with my 1400 till it ran out and then I went with the claria compatable (OEM type) inks and still use them with good results

Is there any ink/transfer paper combo that will print well on dark shirts?

I am actually looking for the same answers. I just bought the Epson 1400 today, but I am not sure what else to get?

I am looking into a CIS (continuous ink system), but I do not know what one is good for the Epson 1400?

Basically, what I need to know is what type of ink to use?
If it makes a difference what ink is used with what paper? (I have heard the JetPro Sofstretch is good for light garments, so I might try that?)
What the difference would be in paper/ink used for light and dark garments?

That's it.

I appreciate an input/ answers!!

A transfer paper uses the white backgground of the shirt to make white in the image. a transfer paper for darks and colors has to supply a white background since almost all printers are unable to print white.
