Hi,
can someone please give me advice (or experience using) on the best transfer paper to use with a Canon iX7000. There is so much available it's confusing.

Thank you for your time.

I do not think you will get a good transfer with canon inks. To get best transfer with inkjets, I find that pigment ink in Epsons does the bet job. Not all Epsons come with pigment ink. the 1400 comes with Claria ink which is great for photos ....lousy for transfers

The most popular inkjet transfer paper is Jet Pro Sof Stretch. It's easy to use and with pigment inks, very durable. With water based ink it fades. Search the web for it. Good luck. Sorry, I just noticed your in the UK. JPSS might be available in the UK.

I use a Canon ix6520 wide format and the transfers come out great...I use the JPSS for lights and the 3G opaque for darks, although I might just start using the dark/opaque transfers for all the colors because I think they look better...

Jay, on the Canon printers, the black ink is pigment and the colors are dye. Is this still correct?

I thought this was a pigment printer when I skimmed this thread but it's not. I believe it's a 5-color printer, it uses Pigment Black when printing in text mode for all other modes it uses Dye Black. I've heard rumors that Canons will use Dye Black in text mode if there is any color at all in the print.

Not really the best choice for transfers, though I've seen other comments here that JPSS held up fine with dye inks.
