printer using freezerpaper
 
I have a deskjet printer from HP. Is it possible to print on freezer paper and fabric or do I need to find a photocopy printer for the fabric? Im wanting to try Hexagon print offs from Inklinkgo.com.

I have used a HP deskjet to print on fabric so am guessing it would work on freezer paper just fine. Let both dry thoroughly before using.

I do it all the time. Just make sure the edges of the fabric are securely attached to the freezer paper

Make sure you cut the freezer paper the same size as regular paper, and that there are no strings/fuzz from the fabric on the edges. Iron on FP to fabric, then cut to size.

I saw a video where the quilter ironed fabric onto the freezer paper then cut down to size. She was demoing lables. I would have to cut to 8 1/2 x 11 and try it. just googled quilting labels/youtube.

I'm going to guess the waxy coating on the freezer paper will not hold ink.

I have an old H/P printer too. It would be interesting to try it. I normally cut my hexes from a 2.5" strip for using with a 1" side hexagon.

I have an HP. I pressed the freezer paper to the fabric bonding the two. I then trimmed the fabric/paper to 8 1/2 by 11.
I did get some smudging on the fabric from the printer being inky. I had to put it fabric side down to run it through the printer.
