How do I make my Labels not bleed?
#1
I have been printing my labels on my HP printer and have now discovered that when they get wet they will bleed. I found this out by using some diluted elmers white glue to protect them...my ink just ran!
Does anyone have a solution?

I also use an HP printer. I use June Tailor Sew In Colorfast Fabric Sheets for Ink Jet Printer. Print at normal, plain paper setting. Allow to dry for @ 10 minutes. Remove paper backing. Set iron to cotton setting, no steam. Iron, face up for 2 minutes to set the ink. Rinse in cold water. Lay flat to dry. Dab off excess water with a paper towel. Iron again on cotton setting, no steam. Wash in cold water only. I have washed my projects with cold water and fabric softener, no detergent. Works great!

the fabric has to be prepared for dyeing-
then the ink has to cure
then you have to heat set
generic ink is seldom permenent- does not give good results unfortunatly you have to use the expensive stuff
