Printing on cloth with Epson 2000P

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

Ok, I'm trying to anyway. I've sprayed an archival fixative onto a
piece of 8.5"x11" Epson archival paper for support, and stuck a piece
of muslin the same size onto the paper. The fixative, when only sprayed
on one of the pieces remains repositionable.


Of course the Epson 2000p isn't configured to print on cloth, but the
image always starts to print and, without fail, an error message comes
up telling me to go to the printer's troubleshooting page and attempt
to figure out why the printer keeps bailing on me. I was wondering if
anyone else has tried to print on cloth with their 2000p and if they
have had any success doing so. If so, I would love to hear how you did
it.


Thank you,
Caron

I have done it with all my Epson printers. Iron a piece of freezer paper to
the back of your cloth and send it through the printer. Works every time
for me. You may need to adjust the paper thickness lever.

I know of a quilter who buys paper with fabric bonded on it, prints on it,
then peels off the paper backing. She gets it at a craft store that has
quilting supplies.

Yeah, I was using the right side. I was wondering how waxed paper would
work. The problem was that my printer would start printing and then
decide to stop before the printout was complet. I emailed epson and
they told me this:

Please follow the steps below to resolve this issue of incomplete
printouts
in Windows XP:

1. Click on START, CONTROL PANEL, PRINTERS AND FAXES (or PRINTERS AND
OTHER HARDWARE).
2. Right click your printer, and select PROPERTIES. (If your printer
is
not listed, click on VIEW INSTALLED PRINTERS first).
3. Select the ADVANCED tab.
4. Remove the check mark from ENABLE ADVANCED PRINTING FEATURES.
5. Click on APPLY (if applicable), then OK.
6. Restart your computer.
7. Try printing now.

If the issue persists, please try the following:

1. Click on START, CONTROL PANEL, PRINTERS AND FAXES (or PRINTERS AND
OTHER HARDWARE).
2. Right click your printer, and select PROPERTIES. (If your printer
is
not listed, click on VIEW INSTALLED PRINTERS first).
3. Select the ADVANCED tab.
4. Select PRINT DIRECTLY TO THE PRINTER.
5. Click on APPLY (if applicable), then OK.
6. Restart your computer.
7. Try printing now.

I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but I'm keeping my fingers
crossed. Hope it works.

Thanks for the input everyone.
