Color LaserJet Textile Printing

Has anyone found a good way to get a picture onto fabric using a Color
LaserJet?

Thanks,

Ben

I just finished 5 photo quilts for my neighbors Xmas list. I used June
Tailors "Sew-in Computer Printer Fabric" - 4 sheets per pack. It finishes
soft and comes in cream or white. I purchased it at Hancock's.

O man, I know I need to venture out and get my glasses....this subject was
right beside one with the word CHOCOLATE in the title, and I though it read
CHOCOLATE laser jet textile printing.

I doubt it. Laser printers work by shining a laser on a photosensitive
drum to create areas where toner will cling to it until it is
deposited on paper. The paper has to be within a particular range of
smoothness & roughness. Too rough and it won't contact the drum well
enough everywhere to pick up the toner entirely. Too smooth and the
toner can't grip when the fuser melts it into the paper. I'd say
fabric would be too rough to pick up the toner well, and I'm not sure
what effect being heated by the fuser would have on it.
