I use Wilflex, but by default, as I bought out another company and along came a full line of Wilfex inks. I like them, but have no basis for comparison. Sorry for wasting your time.

Are you asking about water-based inks or plastisol? Do you have a dryer?

If you don't have a dryer, water based might be the way to go. You could use your heat press to set the ink. But give us more details about your setup.
