Hello,
I would like to print my designs on transfer paper using inkjet to create textile prints, but what I don't understand is whether I need to use a special printer for this or if a personal printer will be sufficient.
P.S.: I am also looking for companies that do "inkjet" printing on transfer paper in Brussels.

The best results will be achieved with the right transfer paper and a special ink for transfer.
But it also works with special transfer paper and a conventional printer, provided that it is not equipped with pigment ink (the UltraChrome series from Epson, for example).
If you have a printer that uses dye-based inks, it should work. You may not have the same intensity in colors, but the transfer should occur.
PS: the substrate must contain polyester if you want the transfer to last over time. Otherwise, in the first wash, the colors will fade.....!
