when i use it to print on fabric treated with bubble jet set, it's about 98-99% colorfast. it's hard to tell the difference between a fresh print and one that's been washed. (what little color does wash away comes out in the first wash. after that, it stays for gooooooooooooood.)
when i print on untreated fabric, the ink bleeds a little and about half washes away. so, if i want the ink to wash out completely, i use my hp to print on untreated fabric. (that comes in handy if i want to hand-piece. i print my pieces on the fabric back with cutting and stitching lines. no guessing about seam allowances, and no drawing them by hand. especially useful if i'm using curvey pieces.)
canon also makes smaller, less expensive models that use the pigment inks.
