Discuss the different brands, makes and models of printers used to print inkjet and laser heat transfers. Also includes information on the inks that can be used to make your own transfers.
Can you use the cartdriges that came with th epson c-88 for t-shirts
Yes. However, some members report color shifting due to heat that is applied to the ink. It is best to buy third party pigmented ink that is meant for heat transfer. Besides it is cheaper to buy the third party ink and refillable cartridge than OEM ink. The OEM cartridges has very little ink in them. I opened one up just to see the size of the reservoir. It is very small. It is not even teaspoonful. So, two or three clean cycle will practically empty the cartridge. Most of the material in the cartridge is just a maze which is empty that supports the sides. The third party cartridge use 80-90 percent of the whole cartridge.
