I have tried quite a few different printable fabrics and this is the best one I've found so far. The texture is great and lines look very crisp. The other fabrics I have used fray more, don't have as crisp of lines, or are super tough and hard to sew.
I would like to offer advice to anyone who wants to print on fabric and wants it to be washable: Buy a printer with pigment only ink. I purchased an Epson printer and their ink (DuraBright ultra) is pigment based and water insoluble. I can print on ANY fabric without having to pre or post treat it with chemicals and it DOES NOT wash out. I went through quite a bit of fabrics and quite a bit of trouble with my HP printer before I figured this out. The reason black seems to stay in for everyone but not the color is printers usually use pigment based black ink, but not pigment based color ink.
So, in summary, I have used my Epson printer to print on this fabric and can run it through the wash without the colors running or being washed off completely. I did nothing to pre-treat the fabric expect iron it before throwing it in the wash.
its pretty awesome. It's thin and simple fabric. When laid in the printer, it prints smoothly. My mistake was printing on the wrong side first, so I flipped the fabric down with the paper up to print on the fabric. I let the ink dry over night before removing the paper back. No ink seeped through the paper; it's all on the fabric. I was able to embroider the fabric and it did well.
Only downside was some threads were coming undone at the edges. For my project, it wasn't a big deal. If you are planning on using the whole 8.5x11 sheet, be gentle.
Love these printable fabric sheets, they're perfect for what I need them for. I use them to make custom care labels. I own a small business, I make plushies, totes bags, etc. I needed care labels that I can sew/attach to items that I make. I know I can outsource and purchase custom labels from a company but knowing that I can design and print my own labels at home, Why not?
When I use these to make my care labels, I put no-fraying liquid on the cut lines before I cut them so that when I do cut them, they don't fray/get ugly.
What's great about them is that I haven't experienced any color bleed.
I can see that these fabric sheets are perfect for anyone wanting to print out images, labels etc.
Give it a try, have fun!
I have used these Fabric sheets to make quilt labels. I print a small picture of a rose along with wording and a care label. The picture and text are crisp and clear. I also use a HP ink jet printer 8500. They feed through the printer easily without issues. I recommend using the "best" setting and photo paper setting plus print on a regular printer paper for placement. The fabric is dense and sews easily.
I was looking for some product which I could use to make medieval “banners” for a small model I was building, but Not having a lot of artistic talent ideally I wanted to print graphics on the fabric. I stumbled across this on Amazon and thought I’d give it a try. All I can say is that it worked perfectly. I figured I’d go through 5-6 sheets figuring things out but the first sheet was dead on. The fabric printed no problem in my HP inkjet printer with absolutely no bleeding. It was simple to pull off the paper backing and just like that I had actual fabric banners that moved like a real one. No fake paper look.
Now I did not try to print something that would eventually have to go through a washing machine so I can’t speak to that capability, but there are directions for that use too.
I would highly recommend this.

I have been looking online for clothing tags for the baby dresses I make and couldn't find a website I felt comfortable with--as an experiment, I made up a sheet of twelve tags on a word document and printed them onto this paper with my very basic Canon inkjet printer with the text in pink ink, setting the print quality on high. So far so good, they looked great. Then I cut them all out to the appropriate size (about 2" x 3") and applied fusible interfacing to one and left the other plain. Put them both in the laundry with a load of clothes on gentle and they both came through beautifully! No fading or running. I'm SO happy--I've solved the problem of my clothing labels easier and cheaper! Yay! Will be ordering more
These sheets are pretty nice, the fabric is a little thinner than I'd hoped but other than that they work well. These are non-stick fabric sheets so if you want to adhere it to something you'll need to purchase a fusible interfacing or heat bond. I saw a lot of reviewers on here bought this expecting to be able to just iron the sheets on. If you're using them for sewing you'll probably want to flatline them to a stronger fabric. Also, if you plan on washing these sheets after printing on them you will have to seal or set the ink! There are lots of tutorials on Pintrest on how to do this, you could probably google it as well. I know there are products you can buy too. Anyway, I like them and would probably buy again.
Make your own tags for cloth products... Umm I think yes! I will be back for more, where else am I gong to get to completely design my own fbric tags and pay just 2 cents each? No where that's where. I checked. This is it. They loo great, they wash great and I skip the step of spraying shoe sealer on them because I make baby products so I do not want that stuff on any part of what I make, They still wash beautifully. These are excellent!
I was pretty skeptical when I ordered these. I'd read the reviews, but I've also tried printing on fabric before with very mixed results. Imagine my surprise when these printed beautifully. I even used the fabric to make little plush monsters, printing my digital designs on the fabric before sewing. With a lot of handling, a little bit of ink did get on my fingers, but not so much that it made a noticeable impact on the quality of the print. I tried using Scotch Guard to help adhere the images to the fabric, but I found it really wasn't necessary. The only thing is that I wish it wasn't quite so thin or transparent, but that's a very minor detail. Otherwise it's a great product that worked far better than expected.
This works great for printing designs from the computer to use in various crafts. I used them for making a wall hanging featuring cats.
