Epson is the choice of many, tho not all are pigmented. Most, if not all the Workforce models are pigment ink. Check to be certain. C88+, tho will only do 8x10 as largest.

Cool..hope it works well for you.
How do you print white if printer comes with cymk?
If we are talking about inkjet transfers, the light transfers are for printing on (ideally) white and also very light colored shirts. For dark shirt transfers, you print on a white surface and the whole transfer, white and all, bonds to the shirt...kind of resulting in a "patch," but the newer transfers are fairly soft and, with a little creative airbrushing ahead of time can result in a very pleasing design.How do you print white if printer comes with cymk?
As for printer brand...I'd say that in recent years the print quality of all brands has gotten so good that you might as well buy the least expensive printer (also consider the cost of cartridges...) you can find. I've found HP printers to be very economical and produce very nice prints. For full color transfers, I don't recommend refilling your own cartridges. Even though it saves money, if you need to refill a cartridge during the middle of a run, it will cause a noticeable difference in color.
Thx Neil. What I'm looking for is to make transfer designs that have white in them as well.. I want to print these on dark shirts.. I see the DTG printers can print white but epson cant.. Im still new so maybe im missing something... Any help would be appreciated
The "dark" inkjet transfers are printed on a white surface that transfers to the shirt. So the white parts of the design are the background of the transfer itself. It limits the shape of your transfer, because you need to physically trim away everything you don't want to appear whiteThx Neil.

...but as I mentioned, you can achieve some pleasing effects using an airbrush in Photoshop or Photo Paint to visually blend the transfer into the color of the shirt.
