That particular seller is selling dye based inks, which are fine for everyday printing.

We use Epson durabrite ink for transfer printing, which is a pigment ink.

When printed onto a garment, the dye based inks tend to fade very much more quickly when the garment is washed than pigment based inks, thus you're better off using a pigment ink.

Unless anyone knows better :-)

Hi,
Yes you can use on transfers.

I think that is dependent upon which transfer papers you are using - not all are compatible, so you need to check each type before using it...
