has anyone tried printing on fabric with this printer? I bought paper backed fabric that is supposed to work in an ink-jet printer.

I have not tried to print on fabric. However, I'd be careful. This printer's heads are very fine for very accurate, finely detailed printing. I'd hate to get them clogged up with even the slightest microscopic threads from the fabric. Why not let Kinkos/FedEx Office do it?

One fault of the printer is when color is empty you CANNOT print either. Must have ink in both in order to print.I usually just print black DRAFT to extend life of ink cartridges. I have 2 printers. I usually use one printer whilemy wife copies with the other printer.

Oh, thank god, this worked for me as well. This was driving me nuts. I had just bought a replacement large black tank and all I'm trying to print is text, but it wouldn't work because one of the photo tanks was out. (And I couldn't just buy that one, would have had to buy the pack of all four colors for $60)... I was about ready to just buy a new printer!

I have the same trouble when I print using the Plain paper setting. My solution: I tell the printer to print as if it's on going on Matte or Photo quality paper in the print dialog settings (Comes up when I hit the Fie>Print action.) The printer will increase the ink output and you should get a vivid print even on Plain Paper. Its the printers problem, not the ink cartridge.... G'luck!

I used a regular printer and they worked. Just do not allow it to come in contact with water or it will bleed

Yes....but you will need to seal your fabric over after the image is printed as it will not hold! I covered mine with a gel medium and that worked, but an ink jet is definitely better!

If you haven't figured this out by now, use your on screen manual that should have loaded to your computer program list when you loaded your printer. I've not had this problem, but did have one and after hours of researching on Google I brought up the manual and followed the directions - viola, problem solved. I did have a paper jam once and couldn't see it until I opened the back of the printer. Also, always remember to push the flashing button when you've completed any task - it let's the printer know to proceed. (Richard's wife, deb)

I have not been able to get my Epson XP-400 to print on any medium-heavy weight card stock, even when I hand feed it single sheets. I have a friend who was able to ram a few sheets of 100# pages through, but then the printer wouldn't pull any type of paper through after that. I highly recommend you don't ram paper through - the person below who says "Its' not an HP" so you can rough the printer up does not appear to be trustworthy or logical.

What a neat use for the fabric sheets! We really didn't know, so we applied two tests. First we spit on it, imitating a baby as best we could. It didn't run. We then held it under running water for a minute or so and rubbed it vigorously. Again, it didn't run. However, the label we tested was printed a couple weeks ago, so the inkjet ink had plenty of time to dry. We think you'd be safe in printing the baby books -- good luck!

I have 2 HP printers and they both work. I do a lot of paper crafts and all of it's on HP. Chances are yours is an inkjet printer.

I have used this ink on fabric squares for a Christmas craft and it printed without any issues. Will be making other fabric crafts in the new year with this process as well:)

I just purchased this printer from Staples and am going to return it because I can not for the life of me get it to print on cardstock. I have been reading up on it and aparrently this is a known problem a lot of people have been complaining about since the printer came out. I have had no problems printing on various label paper, inkjet transparencies, resume paper, but it will not print on my 67# cardstock

I'm not sure . That never happen to me . Ran out of black ink and was able to still print in color. But not sure if it works the other way around.

I have never had an issue with using a permanent marker on an inkjet printable surface. If anything, the inkjet printable finish should make markers work better.

What is the problem exactly.Put paper in it first. Then print something, put legal size paper in it and print a legal size paper. Try that first. Mine just worked

I got one of these for my landlady who's ancient Ricoh laser stopped working. I myself have an HP Color LaserJet. The quality produced by her Epson is "better" than my LaserJet ... so much so that I've been considering replacing the LaserJet. Inkjet technology has come an awfully long way since it was first introduced.
