I have an Epson which uses "durabrite" ink. I then print onto "Printed Treasurers" fabric sheets. they are washable without having to be treated in any way. I have had 3 Epson printers in the past 25 plus years and have done literaly thousands of photos. I created items for wearing to the Oregon Symphony for 4 seasons.
I have HP printers but do NOT use them for the fabric photos.
As long as the Epson printed says "durabrite" ON THE printer itself, the fabric will be waterproof and I have not had any fade when washed

I have HP and I love HP printers and they have great ink. I've never been disappointed with the outcome. Some of their printers are made more for photos and those even have "speciailty ink" for photo printing or you can get the regular ink for everyday printing and save some money. I won't own any other printer.

I received an HP Photosmart printer for Christmas. I think my fabric said that printers not made for photos did the best. I did not want to hook up my old printer so I used the HP Photosmart. I couldn't tell the difference. My quilt label with the colored photo printed perfectly. I'll continue to use it for printing on fabric.
