Hello and welcome to my channel! I recently got a new printer, an Epson ET 8500 Photo Eco Tank. I love the prints I have been getting and wanted to see how it printed on fabric, so I had a little play with a digital paper from a new kit I am working on. What I used to print on was from a company called C. Jenkins and called Miracle Fabric. They sold 8.5"x11" nice cotton fabric on an adhesive sheet in a pack of 10, 30, 50 at what I considered reasonable costs. Sadly the company must have stopped making them because now all I can find from that company are freezer sheet bundles.
If you have never printed on fabric before you can iron your fabric to a sheet of freezer paper and print on it. You can also use narrow double-sided tape and tape the edges of 8.5x11 copy paper. Some people use a repositionable spray adhesive (I have never tried that) on their copy paper and then adhere their fabric to the paper. The sheets I have(and now I will definitely hoard them, LOL) are nice because there is no cutting or trimming. When you adhere fabric to a sheet of paper to run through a printer you need to trim the fabric to fit the paper and you must BE ABSOLUTELY SURE there is nothing hanging off any edge. I used to print on fabric years ago and liked printing on old cotton pillowcases as they were soft and usually thin. Keep your fabric thin.
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for any issue you may experience if you decide to print on fabric. Every printer is different. I have never had an issue with printers I have used, but you must decide whether you feel you can run fabric through your printer and whether you are willing to experiment.
