Musings of a dyer and fiber artist from Lord of the Rings and Narnia country, the South Island of New Zealand.

And now for something completely different...
I took THIS photo of Sophie and Erlo...and printed it onto some dyed fabric. This was A4 size due to the constraints of fitting into my printer. Then I added Vliesofix (Wonder Under) to the edges, and covered a small notebook, which I then gave to Sophie.
Please enlighten me. Ink jet or laser? Is the photo printed directly on the fabric and does the fabric need to be a special fibre content. How do you get it to feed nicely through the printer?
