I bought pre treated fabric at my local fabric store and it worked great.

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.

Yup! This is what I do, too.

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

Thanks!!! Really wasn't sure where the last step was necessary, but for security I'll get some Retayne.
