    Default Best Ink Jet Printer for Printing on Fabric

    Would like Board members' input on which ink jet printer you believe works well when printing your images on fabric. Thank you for your help.

    I have used an HP inkjet printer and have done many photos that are holding up well.

    My mother has an Epson Workforce-3640 that does a nice job as far as home printers go. I've used it some (my printer is quite sad). I still prefer Spoonflower, though.

    Thank you, Maggie and Bree! My last printer was an HP and it was wonderful, however, I wore it out and my husband replaced it with a new Canon. This Canon does not do fabric well at all. I've tried Treasures and other (very expensive) fabric sheets to no avail. When I searched the Board's archives, one person mentioned the Epson Durabrite. Have to do something as I want to print my own labels. Thanks again. Yolanda

    I use an HP printer and I like the outcome.

    I think it works better if the paper tray is on the back rather than the bottom of the printer. When it feeds from the bottom my fabric tends to jam. I've had good results with both Epson and Canon printers.
