Well I've already made one expensive mistake I think. I bought an Epson 3000 Large Format Printer which has terrible paper feed problems. It cost me £270 (about $540) and I kind of regret buying it now.
But that was for the poster sized prints on canvas.
I wanted a printer that would print on transfer paper that I could then heat press onto T-shirts and clothing too.
I decided that there was no real reason to go with dye sublimation for this and that I'd go with pigment inks and the Epson Stylus D92 with a CISS.
I've just bought the D92 here: EPSON D92 PRINTER + CIS SYSTEM, SAVE £200+ ON PRINTING on eBay, also, Printers, Computing (end time 23-Sep-08 19:30:00 BST)
and I was thinking of buying this ink refill set to go with it - 400ML SET 4 COLOR PIGMENT REFILL INK FOR EPSON CISS on eBay, also, Ink DIY Refill Kits, Printer Ink Cartridges, Computing (end time 26-Sep-08 16:55:48 BST)
Does anyone know if this would be a good idea?
I wanted to just get something to print with pigment inks so that it would work with cotton (rather than sublimation inks for the polyester and polymer coated fabrics).
But it says 'sub dye ink' on it and I don't understand how it can be so cheap if it is sub dye ink - I thought that was suposed to be more expensive than that?
I guess what I'm really asking here is can I use these inks (in the above link) to print in the Epson D92 Printer (with a CISS) onto transfer paper that I can then heat press onto 100% cotton T-shirts.
Sorry for rambling on. I do that when I'm speaking too...
Thanks in advance again - the advice on this place has been without compare so far!
