Are you sure you have pigment and not dye based ink? Pigment usually doesn't run. Maybe you got a bad batch of red. You could try sublimation. That ink doesn't run, but the blanks are expensive.
Are there any Inks that will not run?
Are there any inks for Heat Transfers that are guaranteed not to run? I am using pigment ink and have had good luck. But once I left my t-shirts in the washing machine over night and the red ran. If I am going to sell these, I want to be sure they will not run. Any suggestions?

Thanks for you input. I will check my inks. I purchased a CIS system and ink. I thought they were pigment inks but I am going to double check on that. I had another issue with the blue dye inks in the same situation but my understanding was pigment inks would be better.
Can you use sublimation ink on T-shirts?
Can you use sublimation ink on T-shirts?
sublimation inks work great on the right t-shirts. They have to be light colored 100% polyester.
You can get sublimation shirts from TSC Apparel and Conde. There may be others that sell them too.
I have discovered that my inks are a hybrid. They are supposed to have the best features of Pigment and Dye inks. But I don't want to give anyone a t-shirt that will run. They are fine unless they are left wet in the washing machine for a long time. I am going to look further into Pigment inks. Any recommendations on the best ones?
Try Cobra Ink. They have refillable carts, bulk ink, and CISS.
Thank you. I am going to look into Cobra Pigment Inks.
