I have an Epson Photo R200. It prints on fabric just fine. We've done LOTS of iron-ons over the years.

I have the HP Photosmart C4480 and the ink is a whole lot cheaper than my last HP printer. I go to the HP website and buy their super sized ink cartridges when they are on sale or I buy it at Costco when they have thier coupons. It's also pretty cheap at WalMart. I buy the XL size. Has like 3 times as much ink.

Just wanted to vent about my printer, the HP Photosmart C4280, It gobbles up ink like crazy and costs a fortune to keep replacing or refilling. It has a very small cartridge but costs as much as printers with larger cartridges. Dont buy one of these. |

Debbie: If I understand you, when using the Printed Treasures type fabric sheets, I don't need to Bubble Jet Set, just Bubble Jet Rinse? |
I have a HP DeskJet 895Cse ink jet printer. I buy the Printed Treasures fabric sheets for Inkjet Printers, packet includes 5 - 8.5 X 11 sheets. Very easy to use, I have done photos, this is how I make my labels, just follow directions for fabric sheets. So far no problems and they have been washed and dryed and turned out fine.

I have an Epson Stylus Photo RX 430 (4 years old). It has 4 individual cartridges $A16.00 each. I have been using it successfully with injet printable fabric - Matilda's Own and Printed Treasures. They only need to be rinsed in clean water after printing. They work so well I have used them in two wedding memories quilts for my kids.

I have a book which recommends the Epsom as have the best colourfastness also. You can also enlarge your photos in sections, print each section on a separate fabric sheet and join them together to make poster size prints for your quilt. I haven't tried this yet.

Thank you all sooo much for your opinions....great information.

I have the HP 3650 ( I think , it was just a cheapy ! ) and use the EQ printable sheets and have had no problems. You just print on the fabric and then soak for 10 minutes and they are done :lol:
If you look in avatar that is one quilt I made using this method Sharon |
