Printing on inkjet fabric sheets

Printing step-by-step
With your new fabric sheets in hand, you're ready to print!

1. Open the image within the software application of your choice.
2. Adjust the colours and the placement of the image, making sure the image is sized correctly for the fabric sheet.
3. Select File from the software applications toolbar.
4. Select Print.
5. Click the Properties button.
6. Select Best for the Print Quality and Plain paper for the Paper Type. We suggest starting with these general settings. If the colours that print aren't quite right, experiment with other print settings until you find the ones that work best with your HP inkjet printer.
7. Click OK to accept the settings.
8. Click OK to start printing.

When you're happy with the image colours and placement on plain paper, you're ready to print on the fabric sheet.

1. Remove the plain paper and insert a fabric sheet into the paper tray. For HP's front-loading inkjet printers, insert the sheet with the fabric side facing down.
2. Print your image using the print settings that worked best on the plain paper.
3. Allow the ink to dry completely before removing the paper backing.
4. Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for rinsing the fabric sheet before incorporating it into your project.
