I guess these sheets have been a thing for awhile. I just learned about them. My question would be... If I use these can I wash them how I normally would.
I always use those little scent packs and normal detergent plus my fabric softener. I mentioned this because that's what I like to use on everything I wash because I love how everything smells and feels doing that.
So if I use these sheets can I still do that?
Any other recommendations for washing these would be very welcome!
My project won't be a usable quilt. I know others have done this and I'm not sure what it would actually be called but I'm using the pictures to make a very mini quilt that can be used as like a fabric picture frame.
So I imagine aside from my washing it, it probably won't be washed unless it's been hanging a long time or somehow gets something on it. So frequent washing shouldn't be an issue I think.

There are a number of different fabric photo sheets on the market, you will want to read the packaging and choose the one that best fits your needs. I haven’t found any that actually say they can be ( laundered) most I’ve seen after printing can be rinsed in cold water. It is important to use good quality permanent ink, and depend s on your printer also. The refill inks and inexpensive inks are water soluble and rinse right out.
I prepared my own sheets for one photo quilt ( treated fabric with bubble wetjet then pressed to freezer paper and cut to printer paper size. Used permanent ink. I let my photos ( cure) for 24 hours then heat set, let sit another 24 hours then rinsed in cold water. The quilt is used and the pictures have faded a bit but are still ok, it’s been 15 years.

Do you mean dye catcher sheets or photo sheets?

I was wondering the same thing.

I'm also confused whether you are asking about color catcher sheets (i.e. by Shout or Carbona) or fabric that you photo print on. But either probably should not be washed with scents and fabric softeners in order not to interfere with the chemicals in either of those two sheets. Perhaps if you are wanting a specific scent you could buy some FreeBreeze in that scent and spray on after you wash?

Sorry I've been gone so long. I git caught up with the holidays. I meant the sheets that you print photo's onto.

nothing added to those. if you do, the photo won't print as well or stay nice.
