Printing Motifs to Printable Fabric
Scan the illustration from the book (or another of your choosing) using a standard scanner, preferably at a resolution of 300
dpi, to a scale of 1:1 (do not enlarge or reduce in size). You may also use copyright-free images available on the Internet.
Printable fabric is suitable for inkjet printers only. Place a sheet of fabric into the printer, select fabric characteristics and
orientation according to the material chosen. The sample shown in the pictures used a piece of fabric 8.5 x 11 in. It is impor-
tant to uncheck the “fit to page size” option so that the illustration won’t get enlarged or reduced. Now, print the picture onto
the fabric, and allow it enough time for proper drying afterward before handling. Remove the paper backing and rinse the
fabric under running water until the water stays clear and no more excess dye is being washed out. Let the fabric dry thorough-
ly and iron it carefully from the wrong side before proceeding according to instructions.
Note: Color differences are unavoidable, owing to different printer models by various manufacturers as well as user-defined settings
in the printer menu.
