im hearing good things about claria ink, what do you think about it, is it good on cotton tees?

Claria is not pigment inkthat most use..but search for a thread where some members have had good luck with Claria on cotton using JPSS paper..Most ink is either dye ink. will wash out badly or pigment ink which does not wash out as dye inks...and I guess that Claria is somewhere inbetween...Epson describes it as 'water resistant'...

Guess this is not a good answer..but do the search to find the thread on this

I use claria with JPSS and alpha gold for darks and good color(better on the darks, need to explore settings) with no noticable fading or color shift/change .

thanks for the response, hows the finished product look with the alpha gold and the jpss?

after like a dozen washes, the JPSS has a very slightly faded look but that is just some t-shirt fibers just acting like a few wold hairs and the alpha gold looks exactly the same but (probably my fault) there are small places along the edges where it looks like its delaminating. Its not much and I can't pick it away from the few "bad" spots so I think it might have been me. This is the first shirt I did with the alpha gold and the few others I did for family show no signs of delamination at all but they don't try to wear theirs out like I do mine. I want a lot of wear and wash cycles on mine so I'll know what they are going to be like down the road after someone buys it from me.

I use the Claria Hi Def. ink with my chromablast paper with very good results. Check this thread out re same. http://www.t-shirtforums.com/inkjet-heat-transfer-paper/t62656.html#post374961
