Lots of places, I know, but are there any you
particularly recommend, or are there any to
particularly avoid?

I've seen many threads on ink quality, but
can you tell me how the ink holds up on a
tee shirt transfer?

Also, what is the difference between dye,
ink, and pigment?

Pigment inks are used by many of the Epson printers and are rated to be more
fade resistant. They are a suspension of tiny particles of colored pigments
whereas the dye based inks are an aqueous solution of dyes. The dye based
inks, used in all the other inkjet printers, are rated as less fade
resistant. Longevity of the prints is the issue. Evaluation by Willhelm, a
testing firm, ranked the various manufacturers' inks by fade resistance, and
some company's dye based ink and paper combinations appear to be more fade
resistant than others. Canon also uses pigment based black ink for text
printing in several printers in their more recent lines, including the ip
5000, while using dye based inks for color printing. Buydig has the lowest
price on one of the price comparison sites and has a link for a Canon $20
rebate coupon. That coupon is available by googling "canon pixma printer
rebate coupon" , and it appears that it can be used for purchasing this
printer from any vendor. I have purchased several items, including
printers, from Amazon and have found them to be extremely reliable. I don't
know about Buydig, but someone on the NG may have some comments about this
vendor.

That is not quite true - most ever manufacturer has black pigment inks for
text. HP has color pigment ink for some printers, but not in the low end
consumer market.

Dye based inks can have lightfastness that is comparable to pigments - compare
the HP Photosmart 8450 (dye based) results at
http://www.wilhelm-research.com/hp/8450.html with the Epson R8000 at
http://www.wilhelm-research.com/epson/R800.html.

Thank you for explaining it, Burt.

Now I was just wondering if the Canon colors
would last as long as the rest of the tee shirt!

Thanks! Yes, I would prefer to buy it online
from a reliable dealer. Will I need to buy a separate
USB cable, or does it come with the printer?

I would assume it's the same here in Canada as it is in
the US of A - BYOB.

Sorry, no; that beer. Make that BYOC: Buy Your Own Cable.
Make sure it's long enough, depending on your placement.

Sorry, Bob, I should have narrowed my answer to that market niche. It
appears, from the OP question, that he was interested in the consumer
market. Regarding the relative fade resistance of different manufacturers'
dye based inks, I mentioned the Wilhelm (I misspelled it) research but
didn't have the links at my fingertips. Without going back and re-reading
that data I do recall that HP dye based inks were shown, in the reported
Wilhelm tests, to be more fade resistant than other mfgr's dye based inks,
and Canon (which I use) had a low rating for fade resistance when subjected
to their testing protocol.
