Check your printer owners manual. Some ( laser printers) can Not be used to print on fabric, some do ok.
You have a couple choices ( if your printer is able) you can use ( pfd-- prepared for dyeing) fabric ironed to freezer paper & cut to printer paper size to run through the printer. ( to prepare fabric for dyeing prewash it, with detergent No fabric softener) iron ( No starch or sizing) you want to remove all chemicals, oils from the fabric.
There are also on the market (Printer Fabric Sheets) a few different brands to purchase --June Taylor is the ones our Joanne's carries-- our office max also carries them ( I think Printed Treasures brand) I always print a sample on paper first. Then ( make sure all edges of fabric is secure to the freezer paper ( Not wax paper! Freezer paper) I use paper tape to secure edges. Then I remove all paper & run my fabric sheets through one at a time ( I have an inkjet printer specific for printing on fabric and printing photos.
