I hope someone has gone before me on this path and can tell me what to use.

Hello from another Oregonian! I'm not sure I fully understand your question. Are you wanting to use your printer to print onto cotton fabrics? If that is the question ....... I use Bubble Jet Set. You soak your fabric in Bubble Jet, drip dry, and the press it onto freezer paper (to 'stiffen' it). The cut to the size you desire and run it through your printer.
I purchased my Bubble Jet Set from Dharma Trading Company ( in CA)

Here are some labels that I made using BJS. Hope that is what you want.
Can I use an ink jet? I was looking for some of that packaged stuff u can run through the printer but it all says Dry Clean Only!. I don't think she's gonna be to fond of that.?
