Bubble Jet Set 2000 is
a permanent ink set for inkjet and bubble jet printers. Use
it to prepare your fabric before printing images from your computer
onto the fabric. Here’s how ...
Without pre-washing your
fabric, cut light colored 100% cotton into 9” (letter size)
or 11.5” (A3 size) widths.
Get a flat pan, like a
large plastic Tupperware bowl.
Fold the fabric strips
accordion style so that they fit into your flat pan.
Shake the Bubble Jet Set
2000 well.
Pour the completely mixed
Bubble Jet Set 2000 solution on top of the fabric making sure
that the fabric is completely saturated.
Let the fabric strips soak
in the Bubble Jet Set 2000 solution for 5 minutes.
Hang the fabric to drip
dry. Do not ring out the excess solution. DO NOT DRY THE PREPARED
FABRIC IN THE DRYER.
While the fabric is drying
cut your freezer paper into 8.5” x 11” (letter size)
or 11” x 17”.
The fabric will be slightly
stiff when completely dry.
Iron the plastic coated
side of the freezer paper onto the one side of the fabric treated
with BJS 2000.
Trim the sides of the fabric
to the edge of the freezer paper using your rotary cutter. Make
sure your edges are fray free so that loose threads do not get
caught up in your printer.
Insert the fabric sheet
into your printer so that the image will print onto the fabric.
Print your design onto
the fabric.
Separate the fabric from
the freezer paper.
Let the printed fabric
sit for 30 minutes.
Machine wash, using the
delicate cycle. Allow your washing machine to fill with water.
Once the washer is filled with cold water stop it and add four
caps full of Bubble Jet Rinse and put your prints in one at
a time keeping them separate in the water. Turn the washer back
on and let it agitate, rinse and spin.
Place prints and a dry
towel in the dryer, the towel will stop the fabric bunching
up together. Dry using the medium heat setting.
When your fabric is dry
you can start quilting.
Bubble Jet Set 2000 printed
fabric is 100% machine washable and dryable. It is advisable
that you keep fabric out of direct sunlight as with any printed
or dyed fabric to avoid fading.
