The HP Ink Tank 410 series printers use dye-based inks for color printing and pigment-based ink for black. Here are some considerations for using such printers for transfer paper:

Type of Transfer Paper: There are different types of transfer papers available, designed for either inkjet or laser printers, and within those categories, some are better suited to dye-based or pigment-based inks. Ensure that the transfer paper you intend to use is compatible with inkjet printers and specifically states it can work with dye-based inks.

Quality of Prints: While dye-based inks can provide vibrant colors, they might not be as durable as pigment-based inks when transferred onto fabric and subjected to washing. You'll want to consider the longevity and quality of the image you're transferring.

Heat Press Compatibility: Not all transfer papers are created equal, and some may require different heat settings or press times. Check the transfer paper's specifications to ensure it is compatible with the type of fabric you're transferring the image to and that you can achieve the necessary heat and pressure settings with your equipment.

Test Runs: It's always a good idea to do a few test prints and transfers on a similar but less valuable fabric before you start your main project. This will allow you to adjust your printer settings, if possible, and the heat press settings to achieve the best results.

Could you elaborate on the issue for better understanding?
