label printing?
For those that print label off their computers are you using a laser or
other printer? Do you set with iron or do anything afterwards? Thanx joanna Alberta |

I use a Canon inkjet - iron my labels before attaching them to quilt.

label printing?
I have never known anyone to use a laser printer, only the inkjet kind.
There's probably a good reason for that, LOL! Yes, I set the colors with a good hot iron, first covering the label with plain paper. If no ink transfers to the paper, I know it is set. -- Carolyn in The Old Pueblo If it ain't broke, you're not trying. --Red Green If it ain't broke, it ain't mine. --Carolyn McCarty If at first you don't succeed, switch to power tools. --Red Green If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer. --Carolyn McCarty "DiMa" wrote in message ...

We owned a laser printer for a while. I once printed a stack of paper
piecing foundations. Did all the piecing, then took all the blocks to the ironing board to press before trimming, printed side down. I had a perfect set of piecing lines transferred to my ironing board cover! Laser uses heat to stick cartridge powder to the paper, and heat will also un-stick it. Not reliable for fabric. Although of course it was pretty much permanent on the ironing board, or wherever else I didn't want it!

No fading so far. Some of the labels are 10 years old and since they are on
kid quilts, they have seen plenty of use and laundering. -- Carolyn in The Old Pueblo If it ain't broke, you're not trying. --Red Green If it ain't broke, it ain't mine. --Carolyn McCarty If at first you don't succeed, switch to power tools. --Red Green If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer. --Carolyn McCarty "Julia in MN" wrote in message ...

Thanx joanna Alberta Inkjet. I think the laser printer is too hot and will ruin either your fabric sheet or the printer. Maureen |

I print mine on a Lexmark inkjet printer. I don't use anything special. In
fact, I scotchtape the piece of fabric that I'm using to a sheet of regular paper. Sometimes I'll do two or three at a time. The Print Preview button in Microsoft Word is your friend for this. I then remove the fabric from the paper, press to set, fold the edges under about 1/4 inch and sew by hand. So far, I've had no complaints of fading. -- Alice in PA http://community.webshots.com/user/twosonsatpsu "Joanna" wrote in message news:8eD5l.1547$%v1.17@edtnps83...

I wonder if it makes a difference what kind of printer -- and therefore what kind of printer ink -- you use???

I printed a label in 2004. Some of the printing has disappeared completely
some halfway and some not at all. Maybe I used a 'bold' font for some of it which resulted in a heavier saturation of ink ? I cant remember .... I do remember the outside border came from a site on the net and this is the halfway faded part. Dee in Oz "Julia in MN" wrote in message Carolyn McCarty wrote: No fading so far.
