I do a lot of printing on fabric and printing these transfers so I buy 50 sheets or more at a time. PM me with any questions you have and I will be glad to help you.
It is fun as you said.

Another way is to use two sheets of freezer paper ironed together and trimmed to size. Sometimes that helps. Or put scotch tape over your leading edge feeding into the printer.
The results depend on the brand of printer and what type of ink it uses. Epson which prints in a L pattern and uses durabrite or durachrome inks has the best results usually. Printers such as Hewlett Packard that print in a U shape and that jams more easily plus the ink types wash out more easily.
As Patrice mentioned I use Bubble Jet Set to soak my fabric and let it drip dry. Then I rinse in a mixture of one gallon distilled water to 4 caps of Bubble Jet Rinse, plus a couple capfuls of Retayne.
I am making two photo quilts at the moment and have made many using all methods in the past. It is addictive in a way because it is so much fun. Enjoy!!
