Last night I tried to make a label for a quilt donation to a library. I actually sewed the paper and fabric together at the top. (My freezer paper is really old, and wouldn't stick to the fabric, but it was stiff enough.) It went through the printer and printed just fine. I have a Dell Photo 926 printer. This morning I finished sewing it into the back, and was using a little starch to set the frame around it and got a few drops of starch onto the printing. It got all blurry.

So I took my pigma pen and traced each letter. That worked, but was quite tedious as the printing was quite small.
Is there I way I should have set the ink? I did heat set it with the iron before it got wet, and it had set overnight.
