Auntiejean,
I don't have anything to tell you about ink jet printers, but please don't type in all capitals, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE SHOUTING AT US! It's also difficult to read that way!
Thank You
Welcome! There is lots of helpful info here. If you go to http://www.equilter.com and do a search on inkjet printing they have alot of helpful information on technique. Also http://www.patternreview.com may be of use.
I have a Hewlett Packard hpdeskjet3650 which is inexpensive and works well for regular printwork. We use an Epson printer for photographs that is excellent. Mary
Hi Mary in Colorado thank you for your information i will look up those sites and then report on what I decide to do. Auntie Jean
This is a good source for information and supplies.

There is one brand of printer that is highly recommended.....I'm still searching for the name.
Found it - Epsom.
