Does anyone know if i can make transfers for hats and shirts with this? If so it came with pigment ink would i have to change this to dye, i already have a heat press and someone gave it to me. What other type of materials would i need paper to print on, etc... Thanks for the help

Yes you can use. Pigment ink is what you want for heat transfers

I am kinda new to this would i print image straightup or in mirror format? i use a vinyl printer sometime todo transfers and print on vinyl material is this like same process , would i have to contour cut around the image. thanks for any help with this looking for a printer to do images instead of heat tranfer printed vinyl it's just kinda stiff and bulky around image. thanks

I am looking to talk to someone about this printer if there is anyone out there i would appreciate the help. I am wondering if this type of printer would be different from my vinyl printer that i currently use now for some shirts. I am kinda looking todo something that transfers the ink(like sublimation). Thanks for the help..

Here is the background on the Epson 2200, it came with 7 Ultra Chrome Inks its been replaced with the Epson R3000. This is a pigment based printer as sben763 mentioned before. Pigment inks are ideal for heat transfers.

Epson Stylus Photo 2200 Ink Jet Printer, Overview - Product Information - Epson America, Inc.

If its full on ink that's a bonus. If not, give Cobra inks a call and look into their pigment ink and paper
.:: Cobra Ink Systems::. This is where the term CIS began they have all the transfer settings and color profiles you need for their ink.

Otherwise, you are good to go.

You would contour cut around the image.
