I had really good luck using Rit Dye Fixative after printing pics with the Canon inks that came with the printer. I ran out of those inks and the off brand ones I replaced them with were much more difficult to get them colorfast. I washed those with the Canon inks with detergent a couple times and no bleeding or fading, the off brand inks, less successful. I think I'd go with Charley's suggestion and use embroidery or hand written and not have to worry about the label fading away.
