Printing Labels with Ink Jet: the beginning

Today I have tried printing labels on a sheet using the tutorial from Elena Fiore - only I encountered a problem when using ink jet printer.

I need to find a way so that the sheet doesn't get dirty from the printing process, and only the printed pattern will appear.

Any suggestion anyone?

Update: I purchased the print to iron paper... and discovered that:

- Epson ink jet printers are better than Canon, that's why I could get the same effect as Elena...
- Print to Iron paper is OK but maybe not the best choice for labels... in fact it seems like plastic and the effect of fabric basically goes away - it's a good way to begin anyway, maybe with some additional stitches the labels can look nicer. I still prefer the direct print on textile.

Caspita, non conosco l'inglese!
Comunque ti rispondo in base alla mail.
Prova a cambiare tessuto. Usane uno a trama fitta, tipo lenzuolo.
Però vedo che c'é un'etichetta...
è l'unica sopravvissuta? :-)
Ciao, elena
