Will this work for heat transfers on fabric? The OEM ink does but a question below about uv inks sent up a flag. Please advise.

I don't know why it wouldn't but I didn't try it and no longer have a printer that uses this system.

I am using the ink for an Epson printer so cannot answer directly. However, I will tell you that I am not that happy with the ink quality. Apparently there is a difference in ink quality. It tends to clog up my heads causing me to have to clean them quite often.

No, this is for vinyl sticker decals for cars and such. For t-shirt iron ons, you want to look for heat transfer vinyl. I highly recommend Siser Easyweed brand HTV for shirts.

The ink is removed with heat or friction. So in theory, yes, this should work -but not sure HOW HOT. I have noticed that the ink residual is not removed by the erasure, the ink in fact is simply converted to a transparency. I purchased several boxes of them and use them on test samples in the lab. We take those samles to 250°F and stabilize for 2-30 minutes. and the ink is normally not visible. I should mention that the materials we write on have a film coating - and that is non-porous. So the behavior with fabric where it can draw into the fibers might be different.

I haven't tried that, but I doubt it would work. You need a faster drying ink.

It worked on ink from a foutain pen but I don't know about clothe dye. I would think it would since it takes out ink, dog messes, and everything else. I love it myself. You might have to use it more than once on the dye. I use a dry cloth but you can try it wet if that works better.

I can't comment on HP inks or their refill inks. I use Epson printers exclusively. The after-market brands of inks work great. I don't get any fading or smudging. This is probably because Epson inks and their after-market copy cats stain the fabrics.I have washed & dried shirts, violating all the recommendations, and they hold up extremely well. I use the transfer papers to make shirts, caps, tote bags, etc. commercially and I am well satisfied.I buy my after-market Epson inks from Amazon sellers. Some of them are less than $1 per cartridge. Well worth the investment in an Epson printer if you do a lot of printing like I do. I can't comment on HP inks or their refill inks. I use Epson printers exclusively.

I am not 100% sure but that is what i bought it for, I am just waiting for my ink to come. I do know that if you are going to try it you need sublimation ink which does not come with this printer. You should NOT use any other ink in the printer if you are going to use the sublimation ink in the machine. this process does not work on cotton materials it must be a polyester or a poly blend also there is a place that sells it cheaper i paid 169 i think

I just put some water over a sheet I printed and it did not smear or run.....Hope this helps you, Bruce

I would have my doubts. It didn't work well with heat applications for me. When it gets too hot it seems to get soft.It may depend on how hot it gets . . . not sure. I would probably try solder for that. (?) Dale

I used it to print a shirt with a stencil and a sponge and it bled thru. I've had trouble getting it a uniform color without using a screen. Hope this helped

Well to be honest I didn't buy it to iron onI bought it so my guys wouldn't scratch up the top of my new dryer. But I really don't think it would transfer heat by by the look of the fabric. And if it did I really don't think it would get hot enough to harm anything. Hope this helps

Not Only do you REQUIRE special transfer paper, you require a special ink. I would HIGHLY recommend using Sawgrass Inks because they have developed inks that are matched with the necessary ICC color profiles to ensure what you see on your screen turns into what is pressed on the shirt. Now that comes to make next point. You can go with Chromablast Inks which can print ONLY on light colored 100% cotton fabrics. If you want more versatility and wider range of products, I would recommend going with Sublijet-R inks which can be pressed to 100% polyester based materials (from shirts, mugs, hats to phone cases!) Once you decide the direction you are going you can only use the printer for that purpose. This printer uses an internal ink well system that maintains ink in it so you use ALL the ink in the cartridges making it very cost efficient. But, you can not switch cartridges and print with another ink. This is specialty printing you are talking about and I highly recommend you find someone who knows this process and teach you because it can be a little daunting learning this on your own. Best of luck!

If you find Sublimation ink for this specific model. t126 Sublimation ink. Other inks will clog. I use this with Pigment ink and it works fine for custom clothing.

Yes the ink from Inktoneram works great over high priced OEM inks from Epson. Save a whole lot of money.

I would think so, the ink is meant to resist higher temperatures, I don't see how that would keep it from fading over time though.

I just use my regular ink jet printer ink. I have found if pressed correctly with heat press, it turns out well. This is not the right paper for sublimation inks, but I don't know about the others you mentioned. ;) Hope this helps
