Default pigment vs. dye inks

whats the difference between pigment inks and dye inks??? and does sublimation dye ink have anything to do with the two. also can the three be used in the same printer (like an epson 1400, or whatever) at different times for different results on different t-shirt printing projects????

Not everyone uses these two inks for garments. They are also used for photos, film and a hundred other reasons.. Pro's prefer dye ink for making film positives over pigment.

keep it in mind, dye ink is so much cheaper and most of time it's more glossy than pigment.
