Default Making your own colorfast printing sheets???

I have done a lot of printing photos on fabric and used raycafix as the pretreatment. I have not used bubble jet as of yet. I would to find a great recipe to make cotton colorfast like the sheets they sell.

I have a cannon pixma pro 100.It is not a pigment ink but a dye based ink that penetrates the fabric and is supposed to be washable and fade less.

Has anybody used bubble jet and rinse, or a homemade fixative and compared it to colorfast pre made sheets?

The only recipe I can find is alum/washing soda & fabric softener.

I have searched the internet for days trying to find a recipe for the colorfast shaats they sell! They are expensive and maybe bubble jet or raycafix treatments do the job just as well!

Guess this is a really big secret being kept under wraps!
Thanks for any help or suggestions,
LInda
