I have used the Bubble Jet Set and I don't really think the photos last as long as when using a professional photo transfer fabric. It is expensive no matter what method you use... the big drawback for me when using the bubble jet set is if I only want it for one label.... I still have to prepare enough for more. Although it certainly goes a long way... and lasts a long time. (the solution that is) because you should use the prepared fabric in a very short time for optimal performance.
