The fall is here, which means Halloween is just a few weeks away.  The kids all want different kinds of Halloween costumes, and they refuse to wear hand-me-downs.  These days, a trip to the Halloween store can cost hundreds of dollars depending on how many costumes you need.  So why not try something different this year.  Buying plain clothing or cloth at a store is cheap, and with your high-tech inkjet printer and HP 21 ink, you can make things at home.  The ability to print on iron-on transfers really leaves the options limitless. 

So little Johnny wants to be Batman this year, and Bobby has been dying to dress up as Spiderman.  The only things that will need to be purchased are the appropriately colored materials.  You can find these superhero logos online and print them out to iron on the front of a plain black or blue shirt using solid Brother LC65BK ink.  Then find a decent image of the masks that are worn, and print out this outline.  Iron it on to a piece of cloth and get out the scissors.  There is going to be some arts and crafts with this project, which might even be something the kids enjoy.

Of course these costumes are not going to be as professional as they would be if bought from a store for $50, but they should appease the kids and the money saved will certainly please the parents.  High-quality HP 94 ink within the printer will ensure that the colors are accurate and long lasting, so perhaps the same costume can be worn next year.

Inkjet printers are great for many reasons, but the versatility they have can be a life-saver.  Especially in a struggling economy, finding ways to save money is a must, but not at the expense of your kids’ happiness!  The ability for your Canon PG-210XL ink printer to make everyone happy is one of many reasons inkjet printers are among the most popular personal printers on the market.
