diesels 0 Posted April 24, 2011 Hi all, I know it is good to use pigment ink for t-shirt transfers. I also see that many places sell universal inks and some them sell it as pigment I believe? Is this universal ink ok for a t-shirt transfer? Thank you much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see where that has anything to do with whether or not universal ink works like pigment ink or not. I did not even see the word universal ink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AshComputers 197 Posted April 25, 2011 Sorry, yes, it does. It's alot more costly than pigment though, a good ciss will work better imo. Make sure you are using a high quality paper as well, like SIHL Hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hockeygirl 30 Posted April 25, 2011 There are a lot of aftermarket ink out there that are pigment ink, depending on what printer you use. If you use an Epson printer, chances are, you can get your ink through cobraink. Lots of members on this forum use them with great success for t-shirt transfers. I'd be careful when it just say "universal" because it doesn't specify if it's dye or pigment, and dye ink has a tendency to fade after washing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screenprintr 319 Posted April 28, 2011 Pigment faded too, just not as fast. Have a good Heat Press? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
