I'm not Ckcowl, but I use a good quality muslin. I prewash it (no fabric softener), dry it (no dryer sheets), and press it (no starch or sizing). then I iron it to the freezer paper and trim it to the size of a sheet of regular printer paper. I have an HP printer and I set it to High Quality in preferences. After it is printed, I let it dry for several hours, peel off the freezer paper, and run it under cold water. Then I set it on a few paper toewls, and put afew on top and press down with my hands to get as much water as possible out of it, then I iron it till it's dry. I haven't had any problem using black ink (not a refill). Hope this helps and good luck!
