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?

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.
