Need a new printer
Help, this relatively new quilter (4 years) is looking for the best printer for quilting. I have the EQ7 program which as a lot of you know does some amazing things. I would like a printer that can print on the paper used to create iron on graphics, as well as print on fabric. I would also like it to print true to size for when I design blocks or applique. Please make suggestions. I am hoping to do this some time around President's Day Sales.
Thanks in advance for any help/advice or starting point for research.

actually any printer can do that..it is the INK and the PAPER you have to watch. As for true to size, YOU have to set the printer to do that, they don't know what true to size is for every program you use! THOUGH, having said that, I have never had an issue with my printer being OFF size when I print from a program, Adobe or PDF files. It is COPY machines that are generally NOT true to print!

I have 3 sitting in my floor right now!! LOL Just didn't know which one I liked best...one Brother, one Lexmark and one HP! I ended up keeping the HP for no particular reason except that it was "wired" and not "wireless".

I just bought the hp photosmart6510 $119 plus tax Love it. easy to install and use. a dream compared to my epson that hated me and died after a year, and the ink is reasonable plus you can get regular size ink or large size depending on use.

I'm making my want, need and "in my dreams" list for a new printer and will soon be purchasing one that will double for my business and be useful for my quilting needs!

On another note ... why is it that sometimes the thread name shows? and other times (as above) that only the link shows?

My HP Photosmart C5280 is soooo missnamed. I hate it. It prints the worst pictures of any printer I have ever had. I keep hoping it will have a brain infarction, or some similar disaster.
