Lots already said about ink jet printers.. I wanted to address your handwriting.. I know some people are very good writing on fabric, but most of us are not.. The way I overcome the problem is to print out whatever I want to say on the label in a word program.. Print it out.. check to see if the size and spacing is pleasing, check spelling.. and when I like what I have then I tape it to my window, tape my label fabric over the print and then copy it carefully by tracing the letters with a permanent pen.. . wa-la, I have a perfectly printed label done by hand. It works for me every time.
