You may want to look inside of your printer to make certain that there are no dust bunnies or paper snippets to block the sheet going through. However, the problem may not be with paper jams. I also suspect that it is with your settings. Be sure to check "Print Preview" to ensure that the entire image is on the page prior to your wasting your expensive printable fabric sheets. Once your preview image looks correct, you may try first printing a "draft" copy of that mage onto a sheet of inexpensive muslin ironed onto freezer paper cut to the 8.5" x 11" size. Make certain that the front edge of the fabric entering the printer is well attached to the paper and that there are no loose fabric threads to clog up your printer. I have two HP Printers, one Deskjet 820CSe and the other is a Photosmart 8250. I've had much better luck with fabric sheets using my Deskjet, but would prefer the image quality of the Photosmart.

Good Luck!
Nancy

No luck. :( My printer still will not properly feed the fabric sheets. :? We have another printer, so I may try the newer one to see if that works.

Thanks, Karen! I will try that tonight and see if that helps. I am so excited about the quilt I am making - it's my memorial to Gunther (my German shepard who passed away at the beginning of April). I am just finding that I have hit this technical skill that I am going to have to learn my way through to make the quilt. :) Thanks again for your suggestion. :idea:

In your printer settings you might see if you can change the weight of the paper from normal paper to a heavy weight or card stock setting. I am not sure if that is the problem... but it might help. :D

Printing on fabric with ink jet printer 30 Jun 2008 07:36 #21047

I could sure use your advice and ideas.... :idea:

I am trying to print on Color Plus Fabrics by Color Textiles. The sheets are 100% Washable Poplin Fabric and have the sheet of paper on the back for feeding into the printer. My printer is an HP PSC 2355 all-in-one printer/scanner/copier. What is happening is that the sheets sound like they are not getting properly fed into the printer and either cause a jam, or are missing the first part of the photo that I am printing (i.e. the first ~25% of the photo gets cut off and the edge of the photo paper captures the last 75% of the photo). Any advice? The picture prints correctly on regular paper, but has this problem with the fabric/paper. Thanks for any advice you can share! :!: Mary Kay[/i]
