Best Answer

Try 91% Isopropyl Alcohol on a paper towel. Put a dry paper towel behind the stain, then blot it with the wet paper towel on the other side. Do NOT rub the stain or you might spread it.

How do you print on fabric?

really depends on which fabric. But in general, when printing onto a fabric, you would use 'die sublimation printing' This is where ink is printed onto one surface, then transfered to the fabric by pressing (and heating?) the two media together... the ink on the first media turns to gases, and die's the fabric. Well that's how it was explained to me ;)

Hopefully you have not washed and dried the fabric. I spray hair spray on the ink. Use lots of it and you will see the ink start to run down the fabric. Then wash the item in cold water. If the ink was not totally removed repeat. If you can help it do not dry in the dryer until the stain is totally removed.

What are fabric markers?

Fabric Pens are very good for patterns but are not good at all for detail. The colours smudge together resulting into no detail. Fabric pens are good for writing as they have thin led but not for colouring in. Fabric pens are normally used to create a message onto a piece of fabric… When you have finished using the fabric pens you have to iron them into the fabric so the ink can set.


How can ink stains be removed from fabric?

It depends on how much ink and what type of ink. I wear lab coat and usually work with black pen ink lines or occasional blot of ink. With this smaller amount ink, hairspray works best for me. I will work it or soak it depending on the ink's response to the stain.


Which cleaning product removes ink stains best?

You can use hairspray to remove ink from clothing. Spray enough hairspray on the stain so that it penetrates the material. Then rub the fabric on itself. This helps to release the ink from the fibres. Then rub some handsoap onto the stain and rub into the fabric. Scrub the fabric and rinse. Repeat if necessary. This works best on cotton, polyester, and denim.

How do companies print images on t shirts?

Digital shirt printing and screen printing are two methods that companies use to transfer images onto a t-shirt. Digital printing uses a a special printer that applies ink onto the fabric. Screen printing uses a mesh screen with ink and the template design. Using an emulsion, the template is created. Then it's placed over the fabric with the mesh screen above it. The ink is then evenly distributed throughout over the screen, which transfers the design onto the fabric.
