This fabric is designed for use in inkjet printers and inkjet copiers only for a couple of reasons. Inkjet printer~ and copiers will put a different type of ink into the fabric, which will actually penetrate the fibers of the fabric. Laser copiers and printers will only lightly coat the fabric which will react differently with the colorfast coating on the fabric. Also, laser printers and copiers have a tendency to completely melt the backing to the fabric because the equipment is too hot for the fabric to run through, making the fabric unusable. The type of printer/copier used doesn't depend on which is the "better" equipment; it is the type of ink that is being put into the fabric. Inkjet and laser printers are completely different processes for printing. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee success if you choose to use a printer/copier other than what we recommend in our instructions since other models print with an entirely different process.

Humidity will have an effect on the fabric, as well as on your printer. If your environment is too humid, the fabric can curl and will not run through the printer smoothly. Printers are also more likely to jam in humidity. It is best to reduce the amount of humidity around both.

There are two sprays we have tested on all our printer fabrics: Krylon® UV -Resistant Clear Gloss #1305 and Krylon® Acrylic Crystal Clear #1301. These sprays will help protect the fabrics against harmful air pollutants such as cigarette/cigar smoke, vehicle exhaust and direct sunlight. Both sprays will protect and preserve the images, however, the UV ~Resistant Clear Gloss #il05 will also protect against sun damage.
