I printed on transfer paper using a regular-size printer, and I had no problems. I even printed on "cloth" paper. That didn't cause problems, but I wasn't pleased with the results.

Thanks Jerry, I have printed on transfer paper with an inexpensive printer in the past but have not tried with the Canon Pro 100. Don’t want to mess up the printer. Hopefully some one will respond that has done that.

I understand. I'd be hesitant, too.

As long as the paper is inkjet compatible I see no reason not to use the Pro 100. Having a correct profile to get the colors right is another issue. I've actually been using water color paper (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0027AAIS0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) to print on with the Pro 100 and have been getting beautiful results with no printer issues.

I'll have to try some of this. It's cheaper than having shirts printed.
