I can't wait to see your completed piece; I know it will be lovely.Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03512610756596405078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8665626912206534659.post-80129833679843741732015-01-28T14:38:32.911-08:002015-01-28T14:38:32.911-08:00Margaret: I just checked Jacquard's site....s...Margaret: I just checked Jacquard's site....says their screen printing inks are archival and lightfast.....good to know!! marnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03067520069137664000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8665626912206534659.post-88966383215843443122015-01-28T14:34:47.437-08:002015-01-28T14:34:47.437-08:00Good question, Margaret.

I can see that once it's heatset (or whatever it might require) the product is more permanent, but I should hate to predict its longevity given that sunlight can destroy the fabric itself. I have a friend who used the Versatex and the screen printing inks with her thermofax screens. Have you checked out Jacquard's website?? I'll have a look as well....now I'm curious!marnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03067520069137664000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8665626912206534659.post-64049023110975872852015-01-28T14:19:39.394-08:002015-01-28T14:19:39.394-08:00This is all very interesting as I'm keen to ge...This is all very interesting as I'm keen to get back to screen printing for a current project.
