How Do You Print Photos Onto Fabric?
You can make one-of-a-kind creations by printing photos onto fabric. After preparing the fabric so the ink will be permanent, you can transfer photos from your computer onto fabric that can then be sewn into pillows, tote bags, quilt squares or clothing. The possibilities are nearly endless. To begin, you must have a digital image on your computer. This could be a new photo that you’ve downloaded from a digital camera or an image you’ve scanned into your computer. Always use high-quality pictures for best results. Cut a 9- by 12-inch rectangle of cotton fabric. Soak the piece in Bubble Jet Set 2000 for five minutes. Remove excess fixative and allow fabric to air dry. Using a dry iron, press the fabric to the shiny side of a piece of freezer paper. Flip the fabric over and iron the other side. Remove all bubbles. Cut the bonded fabric and freezer paper to 8 1/2 by 11 inches to fit into your printer. Cut off all loose threads to avoid jamming your printer. Open the photo on your computer
