I have a pack of Printed Treasures paper here, am thinking about printing a
special picture of our granddaughter on a sheet of it to put on the back of
her graduation quilt. Any special guidance you want to offer? Polly

I have been very pleased with Printed Treasures, except at the cost.
I've used it to create images for quilts and for quilt labels. I
recently found my printer very happy to print half sheets allowing me to
create only two labels at a time without wasting sheets.

TEST your image on paper. You don't need to do a high-resolution test
and waste ink. Just make sure you are happy with the color. Remove all
paper from your printer and place one fabric sheet in at a time.

There is also a printable canvas that I have used with portraits I have
Photoshoped to look like watercolor paintings. The results were so
spectacular that most people thought I painted from the photo. Ha ha
ha. I barely know which end of the brush to use.

P.S.: Kool Kats is on its way to you.

Thanks for the tip about using half a page.
That will be a great help.

Another way to save on the cost of those sheets, and one that works very
well for me, is to cut a sheet to the size needed (1/4 page, for
example). Then simply use strategically-placed tape to keep it in place
on a sheet of regular printer paper. That way I only use as much as I
need for one label at a time, if that's all I need. HTH.
