I have a kodak easy share and it is not working for me when I want to print on freezer paper or thinner paper for paper piecing or fabric. I would like to know what printers others are using and if they have problems like I do.
thanks, |
Welcome worker bee! Glad you joined us. I talked to you chat and was absolutely no help. LOL I know you will get many wonderful answers here.

I use a Hewlett Packard Photosmart All-n-One - No problems so far.

With the HP Photosmart can you do sheets of printer fabric that is sold at JoAnns do you know? The "HP all in one" that I have now it is too thick to go through. I love the HP but would also like to be able to make beatiful quilt lables.

I have a Dell all in one and it only uses 2 cartridges for printing 1 black and 1 for color. I have heard some printers use several color cartridges. Be sure to check this part out. it can get expensive

I really can't give a suggestion as what to buy, but I can suggest what not to buy - stay away from the HP Officeject Pro L7680 All-in-one. I have had nothing but problems from out of the box. Seems the reviews on Staples say the same thing. Wish I had read them before I bought it. Check out the reviews on that site after you have narrowed down which one you might buy.

I've never printed directly onto freezer paper. Have others? I would think it would melt in the heat...or stick to the inside of the machine.

i have an HP for scanning and day-to-day printing. when i want to print on fabric, though, i send it through my canon. the print quality of their pigment-ink printers leaves HP in the dust.
you can send freezer paper through a printer by itself, but it has to be properly prepared. it's much easier to just iron it to a piece of scrap fabric first. you can either press 'til it's nice and flat or let it rest under a heavy book for a little while. only a laser printer might present heat issues. i'm not altogether sure i'd recommend using one to print on freezer paper - even if you've ironed it to fabric. and laser printing on the fabric itself is a waste of time and toner. it washes right out. (unless ... has anybody heard of any products that prepare fabric for permanent color laser printing?) |
Patrice, what type Canon do you have?
