The main problem with inkjet ink is that it is water soluble - as I learnt when the letter giving details as to where I was demonstrating, etc, got a couple of spits of rain on it between the car and the venue! The fact that inkjet ink is not waterproof is also something to consider when printing out and using patterns, (especially if you do not pre- prick your pattern onto card) *never* be tempted to use these printouts without a film covering between the pattern and lace - it only takes a slight spill from one glass of water, a splutter of coffee or a sneeze..... My solution:- Humidity will also cause inkjet to smudge - but a quick spray with artists fixative gives an adequate seal for patterns. If no starching is required after completion, I often throw coloured card into the printer and get my pricking without wrestling with contact adhesive. The roll of contact adhesive I pick up always has a mind of it's own, never goes on straight and puts its air bubbles right where I need to see clearly. I believe the roll of adhesive was whipered to by the supermarket trolley I took it to the checkout in i'm sure. Give her a hard time, don't roll atraight, pretend there's a corner right here!!!!! Just as well there is lace on my pillow when I get home!
