Question 1

once you print a photo on these sheets, and it gets dirty after time, how do you wash it?

Accepted Answer

The included directions state that the image will not withstand standard washing methods. It needs to be treated for water resistance. They recommend spraying with Scotchguard or similar product using light coats as one heavy one could remove the ink. Finished piece may be dry cleaned. If it was treated with Scotchguard it may be gently hand washed in cool water. I made Christmas ornaments so washing was not a concern. The fabric is rather light weight and very smooth in texture.

Question 2

What kind of scotchguard would you use to keep the color from fading with washing?

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure Scotchgard would help at all. The key to keep it from fading is the ink. You have to use Pigment Ink. Here is a Link to the Pigment based Cartridges you can get. http://laserinkjetlabels.com/pigment-based-inkjet-cartridges.asp

Question 3

How soft are these?

Accepted Answer

They are very easy to work with. They have paper backing that goes in printer and after you print, the paper is peeled off. The fabric has regular fabric softness.

Question 4

I would like to make a wedding handkerchief with this. Can the fabric stand alone? Or does it need a backing? Is it soft enough for a handkerchief?

Accepted Answer

I use these fabric sheets to make stuffed toys with my daughter's artwork. Based on my experience, the fabric holds the printed image clearly and the colors are true to the original. It's not as soft and pliable as a handkerchief right off the printer, but if you remove the backing and perhaps try dipping the sheet in cold water and then letting it dry, that may soften it. Be careful not to put it in the washer or dryer. The directions indicate you can treat it with Scotchgard or a similar product and then rinse it gently with cool water. Try it both ways - without and with Scotchgard. I hope it works for you. What a fun idea!
