Printing on Cloth w/ Epson 2000P

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

I believe the company Jacquard (http://www.jacquardproducts.com/) (the
link is on their home page) sells a number of types of fabric that are
temporarily attached to paper for printing through inkjet printers.
They also sell a mordant you can use to soak and make your own fabrics
that will accept dye inks and then there is a process for setting them
so they become color fast. They may even sell a sizing for stiffening
the fabric so it will progress through the printer.

There are a number of companies (do a Google search) for fabric and
chemicals for inkjet printing onto fabric.
