Step 1: Print onto Fabric

1. The fabric and the backing paper must be flat. If the sheet is curled, use a hot iron on the paper side.
2. Before you load any fabric sheets into your printer be sure to cut or clip loose threads, do not pull.  Also brush off any fabric dust or threads that may be on the fabric.  We suggest using a can of compressed air to “blow” debris out of the printer.
3. Do not force a fabric sheet into any printer. Place the sheet flush against the paper guide and square with the entry roller.  We suggest first trying your design on a regular piece of paper first.
4. Feed single sheets at a time.
5. Keep printer properties set on the “ Plain Paper ”setting
6. Wait about 5 minutes for the ink to dry.  Epson printers require a longer time.
   

Step 2: Remove Fabric from Paper

1. Use your fingernail or a pin to raise the fabric from the paper or tear the corner of the paper.
2. If the fabric seems too tight on the paper, iron the fabric side.  That should loosen the grip.  Lift the fabric off while the paper is still warm.

Q: Will the Print N Create® Fabrics work in my inkjet printer?

A: In general we have tested a wide range of dye and pigmented inks from Canon, Color Span. HP, Ilford, ENCAD, Epson, LexMark, and Lyson inks and they all work with Print N Create® Fabrics! If there is a specific Ink set not listed that you are using please call. (Note: Solvent inks are not environmentally friendly and we DO NOT support any solvent-based ink systems)

Q: How is the product sold?

A: We sell chemically treated goods in widths from 8.5" to 60". Small quantities and bulk rolls may be purchased, with or without paper backing. We recommend ‘paper backing’ as it facilitates loading the media into your inkjet printer. Bulk goods are sold in square yards rather than running yards and are full width including salvage.

Q: Should I rinse it even if it is a dry clean only fabric?

A: Yes, a 30 second rinse will remove all the extra dye and extra chemical. Do not wring or twist the fabric to remove the excess water. Gently squeeze and roll in a towel, pat the towel to absorb the water, and then lay flat to dry.

Q: Will it help to rinse in vinegar water or any other items found in the store for fabric care?

A: No! Many of the printer inks respond better to high pH levels rather then low pH. Some of the items in the stores could break down the inks or the finish on the fabric. Feel free to test small images with your inks and let us know your results, good or bad!
