T-Shirt Transfer using pigment inks

T-shirt transfer with pigment inks and the R1800 Ink System Pro CIS

I have been making digital image t-shirts for about 3 years now. I only use pigment inks since I haven’t gotten into
coffee mugs or tiles yet (which to get the best quality and durability, you need to use dye sub inks). ...

When I purchased my Epson 1800 and started using their ink for my images; I found out the hard way, the paper used
determines the color profiling you will need. ......

So far, the Ultimate Pigment Inks have been comparable to the Epson inks. I get identical color match. And, with the
Ink System Pro, I save a lot on my ink cost. Bulk is always the better way to go if you can.......
Everything is working great now.

Thanks,

I print t-shirts for high end shops. I had used the same pigment ink for several years and was very happy with it. Then
my printer stopped working and the printer they replaced it with was the Epson R1800. My main challenge was
finding a bulk unit. I found the Ink system Pro Unit. After reading about the unit and the ink that would be used in the
unit, I felt I needed to give it a try.

Items included in the order were: the unit itself, all inks, cleaning cartriges, cleaning fluid, syringes and brackets.

I had to watch the video’s several times before I felt comfortable installing the unit. I wish there would have been some
written material in addition to the video’s. For some people (me) it makes it easier to read in detail, step by step
instructions, as well as see it in video form. I’m mechanically challenged and the more I can read and see, the better.
The only real problem I ran into was trying to pull the ink into the cartriges. You have to get the syringe in just so. I had
to hold each cartridge as by husband moved the syringe around till he finally got to the right angle. I’ve filled 3 other
bulk units and none have been that hard to pull the ink through. But, once we were able to find the right angle, all went
well.

I like the look of the bulk unit. I’m used to having bottles exposed next to my computer. I have to admit, the main
reason I even looked at this bulk unit was because of the sleek look.

I ran a test using one of my clients images. I was very impressed with what I found. I ran a bleed test. There was no
bleeding of the colors. I also washed and dried the sample in hot water 15 times. There was no fading of the image.
I’m very pleased to have found an ink that is comparable to the Epson inks that originally came with the Epson R1800.

Having used bulk units in the past and knowing the amount of money they can save, I have no doubt this unit will save
me a lot of money. I was getting only about 50 full page images from the Epson Cartriges. I have already printed
twice that much and have not noticed a lot of ink usage. I recommend this bulk unit and the inks for heat transfers.

Using pigment inks for t-shirt transfer could greatly reduce your cost because you do not have to spend $100/ml for
dye sub ink. For a set of 8 color ink set, dye sub inks cost $125 x 8 = $1000. The same volume pigment inks cost
$128, 1/8th the cost of dye sub ink.
