I could use some suggestions. I am trying to make a quilt for my mother using her pictures of wildflowers. I have tried the bubble jet set and the ink washed out. I tried using a soda ash solution in reverse osmosis water and the ink washed out. I have an HP printer and an epson printer and find the same problem with both. I tried the special expensive sheets that are pretreated, about 3 or 4 brands and some of them were even worse. Do I need a special fabric? Or is there a way to set the ink in the fabric? If anyone can help me here I would sure appreciate it. I quess I am saying it wrong the ink doesn't all wash out just so much of it that the picture is very faded.
