After I printed off my label, I IRONED it, ran it under the faucet and it did not fade or run. I have an old HP 7090 photosmart Inkjet printer. Good Luck.

We have had an HP which was very simple and took fabric very well. When it died we got a Canon printer/scanner/copier and really liked it. The best thing about Canon is that you can call them on the phone and get a human being right away.They are highly trained tech support out of Virgina, USA, so no problem communicating. Don't mean to be unkind to those in foreign call centers, but these guys are really good. As for ink, we buy ours online and got it much cheaper than buying the name brand. I don't know if there is a difference. One tip - when you print out, be sure to "set" the ink when it is dry by pressing with a hot iron.

I use an HP printer and it works very well and copies photos from the internet or scan disc. It has the function to copy economically which uses less ink. Also I only use color where I really want it.

I have a Kodak One in All and I get my cartridges from Clickinks.com. Remanufactured and VERY affordable. Which reminds me - I need to reorder. ClickInks is also our go to place for our office printers.

Try SimplyInk.com. Their prices are great and I have had no trouble with the cartridges on my Brother MFC885CW. The cartridges are not OEM, but the guarantee that they will work as well as the original. Just make sure you read the review for any problems that others have had. Some printers work better with aftermarket items than others. Happy Printing.

I have an Epson printer that came with my Mac. The colors are good and the cartridges come in individual cartridges, unlike some brands where you have to replace the entire color cartridge if one color runs out.

ghostrider is "right on"....It is the ink that is important here and for fabric, pigment based ink is the only one you want. The name of the printer does not matter. I do a lot of work with ink on fabric and I use EPSON and their pigment inks. One other thing to keep in mind....If you use vellum templates for quilting or embroidery machine work, be sure you get a printer that does TRANSPERANCIES!! Some printers do not have this capability. I just found out this week that my Epson 3-in-1, DOES NOT do this and it was devastating to a project I was working on. Will have to get another printer for digitizing and printing out templates. Do some research on this because it is important. Love Epson products for durability and print quality. Puts my HP to shame.

My printer is EPSON...Epson is the best ink jet Printer for printing the photos. when I was in Bangkok, Thailand I did the Photo sticker Machine Business in 10 years before I moved to Chicago. The first time, I used many printer, but they gave me the out put pictures were not beautiful as same as Epson printer did. If your in put(pictures or any kind of projects that you want to print from your computer) is the high resolution, but your printer that you are using is not the right one you will get the low out put quality.....If you saw my quilt which I posted on QB a couple days ago You will see what I'm trying to explain....This is my "Born Under a Bad Side Quilt".....

The best InkJet printer I have ever used is a HP. Mine is now 8 years old, gets used a lot and only paid $24.99 for it. I have made several memory quilts with it also and the quality has been real good.

I have an HP all-in-one that I bought on a Black Friday sale several years ago. I am pleased with quality of most of what I print. When I've don fabric printing, I rinsed in cold water and then set with my iron. They have held up well.

I take my ink cartridges to Costco for refill - $9.99 for the large sized XL cartridges but sometime there are $2 off coupons in the coupon books.

I have a question. How do you print on fabric? Is it special fabric, or any fabric? How o you get fabric to go through the Printer?

I purchased an inexpensive Kodak printer from Wal Mart just to do the printing for fab. sheets etc. for my quilts. Why? because I messed up the print heads on my good Kodak combo printer trying to print fab. sheets for my childrens memory quilts. I tried several different types of fab. sheets and also purchased the expensive Printed Treasures online, but these would not work in my printer, these were the sheets that messed up my print heads. I found that the June Tailor sheets worked best for me. I would highly recommend that you only put one fab. sheet in the printer at a time, I found that this worked best for me, a little time consuming, but when I loaded several sheets at once to print, I ran into problems each time. I have been well satisfied with the Kodak printer, and I only paid $70.00 for it last summer.

You can use freezer paper attached to your fab. or purchase the fabric sheets that is designed especially for computer printers, and you just use the picture you want or the text you want from the computer, and make a copy, using the fab. sheets in your printer. Works great. Be sure to follow the directions on the fab. sheets. I purchase mine from Wal Mart, Hancock or Hobby Lobby, and as I stated before I personally prefer the June tailor, they work best for me. Be sure you purchase the fab. sheets that say they are washable, and can be used in a inkjet printer, some are iron on only.

I treat my own fabric with Bubble Jet Set and Bubble Jet Rinse and it has worked fine and held up well. I use a very tight weave cotton that I purchased at a quilt store that they sell to print photos etc. It is sold from a bolt by the yard and much softer than the ready made sheets of fabric you get for printers. After it is treated I iron it on freezer paper to go through the printer. The solution is a bit pricy but I treat the fabric and then only use what I need at the time and keep the rest for future projects. The solutions will treat yards and yards of fabric this way.

It is my understanding that the less expensive inkjet printers ink cost more and need replacing more frequently. Do your homework and get a good one. Mine is cheap Canon and next time, I will get something much better.

I have read on some packaged fabrics that NON photo ink is best on fabrics. I have had problems with photo ink bleeding and blurring...
