Be aware of copyright issues if you will be transferring someone else's art or written work onto fabric for your project. You cannot make copies of someone's intellectual work without their express permission and just because you will probably not get caught does not make it okay to do.

again ... if you use BUBBLE JET SET on a 100% natural fibre (usually cotton) fabric with a high thread count (200-ct or higher) and a smooth surface ...

if you follow the instructions ...

it is PERMANENT after the first rinse.

(note the special formula for HP printers)

if you want the convenience of pretreated sheets already mounted on paper ... and want to be sure of good results ... buy the cjenkins products ($1.65 per sheet). the other brands cost a lot more and many use really awful fabric.

super-fancy pretreated fabric sheets are available from the Electric Quilt Company. i've never used them so can't say whether or not they are worth the extra money:
