help printing text

[edfreid]

Hi,
I'm trying to print text from photoshop in order to make a few "iron on" tshirt transfers. I've been using photoshop and I tried macromedia fireworks as well - however I'm unable to get crisp nice looking text to print out of the printer - a brand new Canon Smart Base MP360 all in one inkjet. When I print photos it's amazing, but text really isn't so good. Are there any tricks to make the text print at a higher resolution? As you can tellk, I'm a complete novice, and I apologize ahead for this (probably) newbie question! (by the way - i haven't tried printing to a transfer sheet yet - only to plain white paper)

The resolution of the basic PS doc has to be high to print text crisply. 300 dpi might be ok for tshirt transfers. Minimum 600 is ok for printing to paper - depending on the quality of the printer.
