I have not had any paper/fabric jams or ink smears since I started doing this. It also works for photos. After printing, allow to sit for a few minutes to finish drying all ink. Peal the fabric from the paper and trim to final size. I re-use the paper several times.
I'm sure it would work. I have done 2 labels on a 4x6. Since you are cutting them apart you could put as many as you want. You would have to manually space them rather than using the auto center of your word processor.
If you are buying the printable fabric you could probably cut to standard photo sizes before printing, also. I can't afford the printable fabric sheets, so I make my own from fine muslin or a complementary light color fabric. The ink doesn't show well on darker fabrics.
I only make quilts for loved ones, so I want personalized labels, thus I usually only do one or two at a time.
