Epson p800 Ultrachrome HD ink

Recommended Posts

Sorry if this is a dumb question.  I was researching the p800 printer and epson sells a roll adapter that allows the printer to 17" rolls of material. I also noticed several of the specialty media states it is 100% cotton.  One media is named hot press natural media and states it is a rag material. 

So my question is, why can't the Ultrachrome HD ink be used to print on shirts?  It states the HD ink has up to 5 times more pigment then the K3 ultrachrome ink.  

What exactly is the difference between the ULTRACHROME HD ink and DTG ink?

Again I apologize if it is a dumb question, but am just curious as to the answer. 

Thank you very much

You could, IF, you could get the shirt to go through the printer. That's all a 20k DTG printer is, with addition of being able to print a white base.
