I had the same problem so now after printing I go over everything with gel pens. This is just for labels so it's all letters. If you're doing pictures I think you have to use bubble jet or the fabric made for that.

Follow the fabric sheet directions, but I still would use Retayne as the final step no matter what fabric I started out with :D:D:D
