>If you are talking about those iron-on transfers lasers are the worst to
use. The toner is of a very fine powerder and that if you wash it even in
cold cycle it will bleed and bleed big time. The best to use is the Canon
Bubble jets and the (I think) Epson Color Stylest II printers. I'll let you
know when I try it out on my Stylest. As you know and for those who don't
know these are bubble jet printers and they act like like the iron-on
machines that you see at your local T-Shirt Express outlets or any other
t-shirt places. These are the best kind to use. If it works on my printer
and is safe to wash at least a dozen times before the color starts to really
fade then I'll go and do custom orders. I will not over charge, just for
the use of the ink, the iron on papers, and the postage and handling. If
you have your favorite pic send it to me via email and I'll print it out on
the iron-on sheets.
