print photos on fabric using a ink jet printer?Name: donna
Message: Yes can you tell me if this would work on fabric to print photos on using a ink jet printer? I make memory quilts. I have a photosmart 1000 ink jet printer. What thread count of fabric would I use and will it work on 100% cotton fabric? You can't just print on untreated fabric. Most inkjet ink is like watercolor paint, and will just dissolve at the first sign of water. However, you can use a product called Bubble Jet Set to treat cotton or silk fabric, so that, when you print on the fabric with your ink jet printer, the results are permanent. Be sure to carefully examine the Bubble Jet Set FAQ for more information. Higher thread counts result in more detailed images. You can also buy fabric which has been pre-treated for the same purpose. This is easier to use, but the liquid Bubble Jet Set allows more control and is more economical. Posted: Sunday - June 20, 2004 at 11:44 AM
