Epsons are all I have. They biggest caveat to transfer printing is ink. For longevity and wash ability, you need to use pigment ink. Some of the new Epsons come stock with "Durabrite" ink. This is pigment ink and will work OOB. If you intend to make this a "For Profit" hobby, you will likely want to invest in a CISS (continous ink supply system), or refillable cartridges and bulk ink. Colors are better and ink is far more economical. As for the paper, Neenah produces JPSS (jetpro soft stretch for whites and lites) and 3G Opaque (for darks). The general consensus is dark inkjet transfer paper is not ready for prime time. The colors are great but the hand is very plastic feeling. Hope this is what you were looking for. Good luck.
