Re: label printing?

Howdy!

....which just proves the instability of the non-permanent ink. ;-)

Good luck!

That may be so Sandy but I just found it odd that there was 3 different
stages of 'fading/disappearing' on the one label.
It is not as if I treated one part of the label any different to the rest.

Howdy!

It doesn't matter which printer or font or style used IF the
ink isn't water-proof, intended for fabric marking. Using the regular
printer ink on to-be-washed plain fabric labels is a gamble.
Sometimes ya' get lucky, but there's no guarantee. ;-)

For printed labels, I've used pre-treated fabric
(intended for washing) &/or gone over the print w/ a Pigma Micron Pen
or FabricMate pen. Then I iron it. Now I prefer to write on the
quilt.

I printed a label in 2004. Some of the printing has disappeared
completely
some halfway and some not at all.
Maybe I used a 'bold' font for some of it which resulted in a heavier
saturation of ink ? I cant remember .... I do remember the outside border
came from a site on the net and this is the halfway faded part.
