Default speedball, hobby ink?

I guess what I'm trying to say is, what makes an expensive ink better than a cheaper priced ink? Do people tend to think of speedball ink as an unprofessional ink because you can find it at pretty much any hobby/craft store you go to? I don't ever hear of the big screen printing shops using it.

I personally like the convenience of being able to get speedball ink at any craft store in town and I like the results of it on a tee shirt but then again, I've never used any other ink to know any different.

Feel free to elaborate

While I'm aware of its reputation, I haven't actually tried using it myself, so I don't know if it's good/bad. I'm guessing the price doesn't compare very favourably though if nothing else?
