Hello! I need help. I use Poli Flex 4605 printable htv paper for inkjet printer. When I printed, colors are bleeding and wash out. What Can I do ? Thank you!!

This film is for solvent-based inkjet.
Regular desktop inkjet is water-based.

No, 4605 is for inkjet printer

OK my bad... I didn't know they have a film for water-based inkjet.
Anyway... The same rules apply to all water-based inkjet films.
The ink used has to dry waterproof or heat-cure waterproof.
I've personally tried sublimation inks, Epson DuraBrite pigment, Epson dye ink, and HP pigment ink.
The first two work well. The Epson dye ink is useless, and the HP pigment bleed and fade.

I use Epson L3155 with orginal ink , when I touch the printer logo it with wet finger it makes my finger dirty aswell , English is not my first language I hope you understand what I mean . Question if I change my orginal epson ink to pigment ink will it not bleed or fade?

let it sit for 15-20 minutes after printing, and before pressing and testing its color adhesion with your finger

dye inks will bleed in normal wash/dry cycles
you have to convince all your customers to hand-wash separately in cold water and hang to dry to get any sort of life out of it

I waited 24hrs after printed still same thing it just comes on finger , also customer service cleaned my epson , maybe pigment ink will solve theese issues? or better to buy pigment printer?

you can try pigment ink, i'm surprised that after 24 hours it has not dried
are you sure you are printing on the right side of the htv?

maybe you are laying down too much ink, try plain paper setting - highest quality

 

[ievapod]

I tried all settings , high quality , normal everything is same . Will the pigment ink printer be different?Since it costs a lot

something is wrong if your ink is not drying

try printing the exact same pic with the exact same settings on regular copy paper,
and see if the paper is too wet after printing

I tried that too on simple paper , if I touch it ok simple paper it is ok not making finger dirty

and you are sure you are printing on the right side of the poli?

yes

see if you can find a friend/copy shop that will print a sheet for you with a pigment printer
maybe it's the paper (try neenah's 3g opaqe)

You should better buy a pigment printer in place of an inkjet printer.

Maybe you can recommend any pigment printer?

Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000
For me it's best.
