It is the same Epson textile color ink for both printer models. The only difference is that the dual color has two channels of each of the 4 colors and cannot be changed later to print white ink. The white ink model has one channel each of the 4 colors and 2 white channels.

You are one of luckiest if you only need CYMK. It will be twice faster than CYMK + white version. Same machine(printer) with different software.
Also ink cost is on each shirt is very low compare to dark shirts.
Wash: if you use pretreat before print Impossible to wash out unless some curing process was done wrong. If washing is the issue. I will offer 150% money back.
Cheers! Inks are on me always.

Pretreating a white shirt is not required, however does improve washability, reduce bleeding and make the colors brighter. A lot of what appears to be fading on a white shirt is just the fibers raising up in the wash. So the quality of the shirt is very important. A very tight ring spun shirt such as cotton heritage will improve prints. As for print speeds you can go to epson.com, select professional imaging, F2000, downloads tab and there is a pdf file that gives very specific comparisons. Personally, considering u cannot reverse the decision to do cmyk plus white or dual cmyk, I would not do the dual. Same machine when u get it, but once you make the decision it is done. Not just a matter of washing the tubes.

On the F2000 it is almost twice as fast on the latger prints.
However not true in all printers. So just check, dont assume.
