Inklingo is fast, easy and no drawing involved. Just pick a size and click. I have Corel draw and Photoshop but by the time I get those programs opened I can have Inklingo printing out what I need.

True, you could just print out from any program. However, Inklingo is designed to use very, very scant amounts of ink. Each shape/layout page actually has 20 different choices of page. 20 different colors/densities of color to choose from. There is a test page to use that prints small squares of all 20 on a scrap so you can be sure to use a color that washes out, or doesn't bleed/show through. Black is the last chance choice to use.
There is so much more to Inklingo. You really do need to check the website, join the on line group to read more, check the Inklingo project blog and so on.
Linda is in the process of patenting the Inklingo process, it is that different. Lots of time has gone into making it a wonderful easy to use too. <G>

It looks very interesting. I don't know if hubby would approve of me sending fabric through his color printer though:

Pretty much. I would suggest at least reading (printing out) the new "Quick start" page.
http://inklingo.com/section/inklingo-quick-start/63

This page will get you started. If you have any questions ask. Linda works hard to get answers to you asap, but the group is sometimes faster because of all the people there. <G>

There is lots of information under the "Support" tab on the inklingo site
http://inklingo.com/

Do check out all the "free" stuff under the support tab.

Once you see what you can do with inklingo you will be amazed.

Yes I am a fan. Love it. <G>

As long as you follow the instructions and have the fabric securely pressed to the freezer paper there shouldn't be a problem with using any inkjet printer. <G>
My favorite printer to use is a cheap (I think we paid about $65 for it) HP printer. It is fairly small, nothing fancy and lightweight. I can carry it to do demos with and so forth.

There is lots of info in the first (free) chapter of the Inklingo Handbook.

And most printer companies do have info on printing on fabric. HP even sells fabric treated for permanent printing on fabric. But with Inklingo you don't want permanent. You don't want to treat the fabric, except so that it will stick to the freezer paper. Easy and fast.

And fun,
Pati

do you cut and then sew on the sewing line? or layer, sew and then separate?
the way you now do a hst?

I bought a Inkjet printer at Walmart for $25 to use for printing on fabric. I use it with EQ and other quilting programs.

Pati- in Phx

Yes. <G>
For many shapes you will cut apart then sew on the seam line.
The HSTs are designed so that you can print on a light fabric, layer with a dark fabric (or other fabric) sew on the stitching lines, cut through 2 layers on the cutting lines and press. Easy. Easier than using triangle paper because there is no paper to remove.

You can even use the HST collection to make flying geese and more.
