Though I have not tried it as of yet, I did visit the Jacquard factory in
Healdsburg, CA.
My interests to were to create 'photo scarves' in color.
They sell dyes which will fit into various Epson printers (maybe other large
printers such as the Roland). I am interested to use the Epson 3000 which
will print a 16"x20"+ size. The inks are actually procion dyes which are
fixed to be rather permanent by steaming.
As I understand it, by me not being set up to be a pro shop to produce 100's
of the same item, the print can be set by using a vegetable steamer which
one can purchase at a Salvation Army or Goodwill thrift shop for little
money.
The web site for all this info is:
