Is the ALPS printer better than Epson 800 or 1520?
May I change the inks?
What inks?

But I don't want to do transfers on T-shirts. I want do it on Arches 185
Here in Luxembourg only T-shirt transfer film is available, could you tell
me, please,
if another kind of transfer film are available in USA or UK.?
What about sizing the paper ? (gelatine+formaldehyde, starch, Liquitex
gesso, etc)
All information about computerized print on transfer are welcome.
Thanks in advance
