I just use a simple printer. You can use any printer that prints on paper to print on inkjet prepared fabric. I have an Epson all in one 410. Models of course come and go so this isn’t the latest model anymore. However if you were out want the best quality, get a photo printer. I have an old Epson 2400 and a new Epson 3880. These are photo quality printers meaning you get more ink dots to the inch or whatever. From there, you can adjust settings. For most of my work, I just use the simple paper setting that is a default setting in your printer. However some printers offer other settings such as mat or in enhanced mat. Another tweak that you can do, is increase saturation, contrast and or other things you might try with your photograph. The point is experimentation. I always make a 4 x 6 sample 1st to see what the colors will print out as. I don’t forget all of this is in my book digital fiber!

What is the BEST printer for printing on textiles.
Something under 6K would be great !

I’m curious about what printer(s) Redmond uses. That’s always been the biggest issue for me. And of course it’s always annoying when a manufacturer no longer supports the product.

It’s always a joy to see you appear in my in-box and today you went that tiny bit further. Wen Redmond’s work is beautifully inventive and her techniques alluring.
Sitting here on my ‘catch all / do all ‘ dining room table potting up zillions of bargain flower plugs ; reading the Wen article. I suddenly felt my finger tips itch and could hear the footsteps of possibilities tip-tapping in my head.
I know when I have been ensnared into new landscapes of textile exploration by the sound of happy laughing in my attic space.
Now the plant plugs will get done in record time. The table cleared. And the goodies put out to play with.
Oh, I am going to have such fun.
Thank you for being such a creative ‘visitor’ to my space. helz
