HP ink does not seem to wash out. I printed on scraps and ran through washer before I began to use this process routinely. My stays very well without bubble jet and just using any cotton fabric I have.
You might want to try a paint stix. Put some of the paint stix on another piece of freezer paper and then use a small paintbrush - toothpick possibly - and paint over the extended portion of the h. Or you could use acryllic fabric paint. It might be possible to create a design into the label with the paint and then remember to follow directions for the drying and heat setting of the paint.
