i printed this yesterday. i made two copies so i could compare the washed copy to the other one.

i pretreated white 200-ct 100% cotton muslin with Bubble Jet Set 2000
i printed using a Canon PixmaPro 9000 printer, loaded with a generic version of the ink it uses. (the results are more vivid when i use genuine Canon ink, so no more generics for me once these run out.)
i let it set for a while and then laid it in a mixture of water with a splash of Dharma Dye Fixative (same as Retayne but much less expensive).
it is now 100% colorfast.

can you tell which side has been washed and which hasn't?
