I paste my pictures into PowerPoint and fit as many as I can on a page, then do a test page on regular paper first.
Do you use the iron on or the sew on type fabric sheets? I've used the sew on type before that I have gotten at Walmart. They work great!
This is what I buy; they are fabric, not iron on transfers. I use the cotton ones, never tried the silk. I have an HP printer and ran them thru that with regular ink. The ones I made are used as wallhangings by the kids. They don't get used/washed much. I think I've read that some people treat them after to help prevent fading. You'd have to do a search and see what the comments on that are.
