Printers

I've used a variety of Epson printers during my explorations with digital media.

Basically you want a L or flat feed if possible so you can print stiffer substrates. If you only printing cloth, it doesn't matter as much.

Look for UltraChrome or Durabright inks.

In a pinch I'd go for the all- one workforce series. They update continually so I don't have the latest model number. 

Here’s an article with the description of the various types of printers available - https://www.ldproducts.com/blog/what-are-the-different-types-of-printers/?eid=eml:P:Promotional_LDProducts_Generic_EML_06172020:20200618:04&sc_eh=68d39c2bd92c70771&sc_lid=141867638&sc_llid=70376&sc_src=email_1994068&sc_uid=vEodCLs10E&utm_campaign=Promotional_LDProducts_Generic_EML_06172020:20200618+04&utm_content=Learn+More_&utm_medium=email&utm_source=emarsys_P
