Default ULTRA Heat transfer Pigment ink vs Generic Pigment Ink Help

Just wondering bout the bleed effects of this.

On a white shirt with black prints im worried bout the generic ink bleeding into the white cloth.

Its more cost effective to use the generic of course but according to the forums the blank ink tends to bleed more

how do i minimize this?

the cost of the Ultra is about 10x more than generic. it doesnt become cost effective when loading 6 100ml into ciss.....

any suggestions?

will a combo of generic inks and using black ultra ink work?

Take and print one with pigment and one with dye base on A transfer then wash and you will see why every one here goes with pigment ink ..

Hope you guys and mrdavid are still monitoring this post.
I want to buy the pigment ink from inkjetfly for my Epson 1400.
I want to go with the refillable carts, because I don't know how often I will be printing. Does anyone know if these carts are reliable?

I have the refillable cartradges and yes they are reliable. I use the Epson 1400 and still use the Claria compatable dye inks. They work great and don't fade when used with the Jet Pro soft streatch transfer paper that I have. They do work with some of the opaque transfers for collors and darks but I don't like the way they feel so I don't use them. I went with the refillable cartradges because I will (eventualy) be moving the printer around to different places to set up and sale shirts and signs and the CISS setups just looked too fragile for a lot of packing and unpacking. Plus, you need to have special places to have the CISS cartradges at a certain level to make the thing work right without siphoning or having to draw to hard to get the ink to flow too far uphill to get to the proper place in the printer.

Default Re: ULTRA Heat transfer Pigment ink vs Generic Pigment Ink Help

I am thinking about using vinyl transfers, or iron all for darks with pigment ink, for 3-4 color simple design. I think the transfer paper method would be easiest, because I would only have to weed one time. But not sure about durability.
Can anybody tell me what the difference is between the two?
Soft hand?
Durability through wash cycles, etc?
