Companies, such as Jacquard, produce pre - treated material that you can print photographs onto using your bubble - jet printer. I mention Jacquard as it seems to be the cheapest and also produces a good resolution in the intensity that is produced on the material. Just follow the simple instructions which are enclosed in the packet. They sell them 10 per packet over here. I usually print in best or vivid mode and quilt and embellish after I have heat - treated the result, and left the correct amount of time after printing.
