My printer is a ink jet, I have not tried it on any other printer types yet. I use several programs that will type in diffrent styles, makes making them more fun. Also, the sheets usually only work on 2 rounds thru the printer, most of the wax on the paper is gone then.--recycle to make patterns. Oh, and if your printer works with EQ- you can make the design on several copies then sew together...

I've done this with regular fabric and my color laser printer. The laser printer supposedly heat-sets the ink into the fabric. I haven't tried washing any of it yet, but it works great! (I only use the freezer paper once through the printer, however)
