I prewash my fabrics before printing to remove sizing and I've not had any problems with the inks fading so far. But ever since my DH comvinced me to replace my old printer with a Kodak, it jams every time I try to run fabric thru it! I've always ironed a good quality muslin to freezer paper, but now I have to use thise expensive "printable fabric sheets." I hate a glaring white label on my quilts, so I coffee dye it before sewing it on.
