HP do 'transfer paper', I use it without any problem, just ask where you get your stationary!.

DO NOT forget to reverse the image before print onto it, otherwise it will be back to front

You can buy transfer sheets at any craft shop and definitely wherever quilting fabrics and accessories are sold!. It's not very expensive, sorry I'm in Australia and can't give you the UK price!. Use any iron, but not on steam, it must be a dry iron!. I always lay a pressing cloth under the fabric you want to print on, or if you don't have one, use a couple of layers of baking paper to protect your ironing board cover!. Just remember your design will be in reverse, though when you buy transfer sheets there should be instructions with them!. Lay your fabric on top of the cloth or baking paper, making sure it is completely smooth, then your printed transfer, then a clean cloth over the top of that!. It is essential that all stay smooth or you will wreck your design!.

Almost any stationers will sell the paper for this!. You buy it in a pack!. You use any standard colour printer!. Reverse the image before printing!. Word will do this!. then you iron it onto the fabric
