When I read this I had a sample with ink markings. I had marked the fabric with the date for thirty days to make sure that age didn't change the properties. I tossed it in the freezer to see what getting it cold would do and all of the previously heat erased markings have returned.

This was discouraging because I had hoped to find the perfect marking method.
