Recommendation for printing color to fabric?
 
I want to be able to print color icons to fabric to indicate the contents of pouches. I was inspired by a photo of this product, which I am using only as an example to see what I'm trying to get. Do you know of a product that works with colors this vivid that I can put through my ink jet printer? Most of the photo-> fabric I see are photographs, not artwork.

I know this lady I see at shows that sells photo fabric products and she has beautiful samples at her booth. I will look for her card and get back to you.

Try TAP, Transfer Artist Paper, available at JoAnn's and elsewhere.

Nothing will be as vivid as the image you posted because that is actually screen printed fabric. Though you could do your own screen printing if you choose.

Found an email address for the lady I mentioned earlier. She will also be at Road to California this coming week, if you are in the area. That is where I originally found her.

Do you want a sew in product or an iron-on transfer or a fusible fabric picture? Once you tell me the answer to that, I will tell you the best products I have found for each purpose.

By the way, I assumed from the advertising that TAP would work great for some labels on quilts; so I purchased a large pack. Nope...needs to be used with a more loosely woven such as a t shirt not a quilting fabric. The fusible glue shows with a tightly woven fabric; rather than settling down in between the fibers, it stays on top.

Another question is which type of printer do you have? My answer depends on that too.
