I think that if you have HP inks, you need to buy the bubble jet set2000. There seens to be something about the hp printer inks that do not work with the ordinary bubble jet set , and so there is a separate bubble jet set that must be used.

Took me several tries to figure out wouldn't wash out but this has worked for me.

Great idea!
Thanks! :D

I have question regarding bubble jet. I used it, followed the instructions completely, even used the bubble jet rinse and in the rinse the pictures faded.

Any suggestion? Oh I am also using the RFD (ready for dying fabric, which is the photo material I was told works the best, since it is RFD.

Hope someone can help me, as I have a huge bottle of the jet and 2 bottles of the rinse.

Thanks Pam

gel pens are typically used in scrapbooking but they work well on fabrics.

some brands of gel pens will actually stated can be used on fabrics and you just heat set them with the iron.

Then, the rinse will wash out some of it, and it isn't supposed to fade after that.
I hope to find time to try some POF soon.
