Thank you. I also agree with your suggestions about the form of feed-through, especially if someone wanted to print on heavier paper like watercolor or the like.Cyndi Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564900810103675653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10301171.post-70207969163693623822012-05-04T23:53:32.507-04:002012-05-04T23:53:32.507-04:00i have read that the Durabrite ink in the Epson pr...i have read that the Durabrite ink in the Epson printers is generally much better than using other inkjet printers. also, you would be better off with one that has a straight feed-through, or an L shape feed,instead of the generic U feed most have. If you are making transfers and have an ordinary inkjet, you will need to leave the ink to dry a couple of weeks, and its still not guaranteed it will transfer without smudging. The other alternative is a colour laser printer. Because the toner is heat applied, its far more permanent, and the price on these printers is coming down on a weekly basis. Its got to the point that you do not refill them, you simply buy another printer.<br />However you cannot beat Cyndi's suggestion of getting things professionally printed; it does show in the end result if the quality of the print is important and you cannot afford to run a top of the range printer.spinningdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03211231649784777346noreply@blogger.com
