Bubble Jet Set (BJS) 2000 has been around for a few years now. It is a great product. Worth every penny (lowest price is usually at Dahrma Trading Co online)

I "upgraded" to an HP printer using a Vivera tri-color cartridge #97. I got the worst results i have ever gotten with BJS. The older printers that used 78s and 23s were so much better.

the HP cartridges in the 10/11 series have a bad reputation (only in regard to whether they work with BJS. i'm not bad-mouthing HP or their printers. work horses; great for lots of things. i just don't use an HP to print my fabric any more. i bought a Canon that uses ChromaLife 100 ink to use instead.)

if you already have the printer, i'm not suggesting you run out to plunk down hundreds for a new one. i just said all so you would understand that if you don't get results that thrill you to pieces, it isn't the BJS. it's the ink.

one more hint - use 200 ct, 100% cotton muslin. white is best. you'll greatly increase your chances of success.
