Can I use this on a heather gray shirt? (walmart's steel heather gray). It will be in black ink. Or will I have to use the dark transfer? Thanks!

Yes, but watch that content of the t-shirt should only be cotton, as you will be using high heat and if it has other fabric blended it will burn and stretch and your iron on will crack.

I ones I used had a transparent background. I printed them using black lettering & had absolutely no problems with using them on colors. I transferred onto canvas material of four different colors & had no problems with any of the colors.

It absolutely has not worked for me. Have to use sublimation ink. There are companies on eBay that make the ink and it's just as good and much much cheaper than original sublimation. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure . That never happen to me . Ran out of black ink and was able to still print in color. But not sure if it works the other way around.

In all cases, the polymer style transfer paper will show the color of the shirt through and will make the colours in the image skew. If you use dark colours in the image this will be less. These transfer papers are best on white fabric.

I never have. This is applied different than the dark material transfers. So I don't think so.

Actually the gray is for other models such as the MG7120 that uses a separate gray cartridge. It's not interchangeable with black. I guess they just list all the models that are compatible with the CLI-251 cartridges in the title. Needless to say, if you don't have a MG7120 or other model that uses gray, stick to the bundles that only have the colors your printer needs.

I had an incompatibility error when I changed my black cartridge. Tried several times and finally realized that another cartridge was out of ink. Changed that cartridge and everything worked OK. Not too happy with the density of the black ink. It is not very dark.

I may not be a good person to ask. I use True Steel in a mixture with Plush Brown to make the results more "ashy", so I'm not sure what it does by itself. I suspect it would coat the black as well as the gray - but you can wash it out immediately if you don't like the results, so it's probably worth trying.

I'm using them in my WF-2540 now. The black I installed worked fine and the color looks black, not dark charcoal. However, my first set of color did not work. Only the red emitted ink, but it looked more like it was leaking ink out while the head was moving back and forth (it was not actually leaking). The 2nd set of color I'm using now and are working fine. For the price, it's still a good deal for me.

Not really. I've used it on colored garments but depending on the color of the image and the fabric, certain colors may be drowned out or altered because of the garment's color. I wouldn't waste the time using this product on dark garments.

The best way I have done this is keep an empty cartridge in the color slot and a full black in the black slot.. Since it wont work with an empty slot. Black on Black may cause problems.

You will probably have to buy a new printhead. The company misleads customers by advertising that "you can save on printing and ink. They don't tell us that it uses both cartridges to print in color and in black only too. If you don't use it frequently it will start to malfunction. I put a brand new black cartridge in and I barely used it when it malfunctioned because I didn't have a color cartridge. Not pleased with this product!

Just tested them all out on my inkjet printer/copier. In a color copy all the colors show up but the yellow is very light. Using the black setting I only see faint purple and can just make out the green, blue and blue. I guess I would say that if you want it to show up on color and black copies, use the purple. Hope this helps you.

I've used it with Montblanc Mystery Black ink and that worked really well. I've also used Private Reserve, Noodler's, Parker Quink, and J. Herbin. They all seemed to work pretty well. The J. Herbin ink was a little too wet, the Noodler's ink (Blue) was a great ink and I enjoyed the Private Reserve and Parker ink equally as well. Lamy also makes ink. I haven't used them myself but I've heard good things about them.

Yes, shouldn't be a problem - I used black ink, but didn't notice any issues with the paper being too slick or anything.
