Printing on fabric issues
Ok so i am printing pics on fabric and normally have no issues...but this time the ink is bleeding and washing out the pics. here is my question:
1. How do i stop this? 2. If i can get it to stop would a light layer the fabric mod podge stop it? What side effects could that have? |
not sure how to stop it, but won't mod podge wash out?
|
No idea. i have never used it before! I just have a jar that a got for another project completely and wondered
|
Are you using pre treated fabric sheets? either bought pre treated or treated with bubble jet set?
|
pretreated with Soda Ash solution.
|
Never tried that but have used Bubble Jet Set many times with no issues like you describe.
|
dharmatrading.com has some no-flow primers for fabric that might work for you.
|
The only problem with those is that I have most of the pictures printed. The test sheet I did seemed to work perfectly, so I printed the rest- now I am having the wash out issues.
|
If you're looking for an 'after-the-fact' remedy, I'd say one of the textile mediums would be your best option but they do make the fabric stiff and don't stand up to repeated washing.
|
Could be inks. Try some retayne with it.
