I ironed the fabric after printing it mainly because it was looking pretty crinkled but it would have heat set the inks a certain amount. I would expect the inks to be fairly "fast" although I wasn't too concerned in this application. I used nylon voile which is a fabric commonly used for sheers for window curtains. I didn't experiment with different fabrics because I already had this length of voile left over from a project and I like the qualities of the fabric eg. the way it falls, it's sheer quality, etc. I wouldn't have wanted a fabric that had any texture to it because this would take away from the translucent effect I was going for. Hope this is helpful and thanks for taking the time to visit and for your comments.tonihartillarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02494560145626069180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4729390740255994369.post-12426620189480823462013-11-16T17:55:29.387+13:002013-11-16T17:55:29.387+13:00Its beautiful- what kind of ink did you use? did y...Its beautiful- what kind of ink did you use? did you apply ink with a brayer or with a sponge or a brush? Did you have to heat set the ink with an iron afterwards? What kind of fabric did you use? Did you test out different fabrics before committing to this one?
