i need to buy some new ink, i've just been using an ebay sourced dye ink, and wondered if anyone had any recomendations for printing onto heat transfer papers (i use the yolo stuff) for fabrics.

the printer is an epson b1100 with refillable cartridges. its my day to day printer as well so the ink can't be that expensive.... however its possible that printing in this way may become more used for my work in which case i'll buy a cheap printer for the office and have this one as a stand-alone so maybe a better ink would be a good idea.

Really you want to be using pigment ink for transfers, City Ink do a CISS complete with inks for about 85 quid.

Pigment ink is fine for day to day use too.

Do you get the same ciss clogged head issues that you do with sublimation ink? I've recently given up on my ciss set up as it was driving me mad.
