First question is this best paper to use? Second question my inkjet printed Cannon printer doesn’t seem to print well looks faded!!

@Tees2plz - Welcome to the Make The Cut! software forum, where we assist users with issues using Make The Cut! with a supported cutter. The Cameo 3 is not a supported cutter. So a little clarity:

- the process is print and then cut, not cut and print - "want to expand into cut and print!"
- different inks from different original manufacturers will perform differently on the paper you are using, I haven't heard of Canon being much of a choice for this type of work, I think you will find that non-OEM inks in an Epson, for example, is much more popular, so I would use Epson (I have always used Epson personally, but have also used just about every other printer brand in the market place over the last 30 years of tech support)
- look for Youtube videos on how to use the brand of paper you have, for example, this video:

Welcome to the Make-The-Cut! software user support forum, which is focused on assisting users of the Make-the-Cut! and Popup Card Studio software.  One thing I can say with no uncertainty is that MTC does not support the Cameo 3.  That being said, I do not know the answers to your specific questions, but I can point you to a couple of resources where I am sure you can get those answers. 

There is a Facebook group for people who do all sorts of garment work.  It's called "Teach Me That".  https://www.facebook.com/groups/teachmethat/

There is also the T-Shirt Forums.  Another place where you can talk about printers and transfer papers, etc.  https://www.t-shirtforums.com/

And finally, there is a guy who teaches how to be profitable in this field.  His name is Cartess Ross, and his website is https://www.tshirtriches.com/

Hope one of these resources will help you find the answers you need.
