How well do the ink stays on the shirts after many years of washing and drying?

I haven,t had them for years. But, so far I haven,t had any problems with it coming off. Just make sure you heat set it properly.

I used these on a 100% cotton t-shirt. This shirt has been washed and dried many, many times (at least 30 times). The ink has begun to fade slightly. I don't think a quilt would get the hard wear that this shirt has.

The fire resistant material will wear out after a certain number of washes. The maker of the shirt will say how many washes the shirt is good for on a tag on the shirt.

If they are not unsealed they will last probably forever but after they are in the printer I am sure they tend to dry out as any liquid does when exposed to the air. So far my ink has lasted an average length of time and I am in the dry air of Tucson, AZ. Probably depends on your location to determine the speed of drying time.

Depending on what surface you write on with sharpie it can be rubbed off over time, so it would have to be reapplied after a few washes. Short of engraving, however, it holds 'permanent' the longest of any medium (or brand) I have found.

I have use them on cotton tees to fill in color, where it was black outlines & gray shading design on the teeshirts; with no bleeding on multi-washing...and they don't bleed or fade when the teeshirts gets sweaty and salt stained. But aways, check on a old tee; first.

I have an inkjet and they haven't smudged yet. I'm sure they would if they got wet...but just standard use I've had no issues with smudging.

Absolutely not, once it's dry. It is fountain pen ink, so it washes off the pen mechanism with water, but it has a chemical reaction with the cellulose in paper that makes it very permanent after it drys.

This is a very general answer. I understand most liquid inks will fade to some degree over time. I have not studied that issue much, so can't be real specific. However, I have heard that some Noodler's ink is archival quality, I just don't know which one(s). It would be best to contact a regular pen shop and ask which of the Noodler's inks are archival. You can contact Greg Goulet at Goulet Pen Co./Ink Nouveau. He is famous for his knowledge of pens and inks. Look him up online and on Youtube.com.

I can't answer for sure, but I have had some for at least a year that I have used without any problems. They are very well sealed and I do sort of shake them before using just in case the ink has settled.

I have had mine for awhile now, and I use them almost daily. So far, no deterioration of the marks.

As long as you press it correctly it last a long time. Sometimes the t-shirt gets worn out faster &#128540;

Yes, but temporarily. Repeated washing (especially scrubbing) has the ink/paint wear off.

This printer has sat for weeks at a time in my home office while I have been away. We have had no problems with ink drying out or any other issues.

no when you press at the right tempereture the ink gets seal and your transfer will last 30+ washes this is a profesional paper for inkjet transfers

I soak mine in a bucket of soapy water overnight, rinse and air dry. They've lasted for 4 years and look fine. I would not machine wash them with ANY other garment--the dye runs like crazy.

Yes the ink does stick well, I have an inkjet printer which does automatic double sided printing, what I found though was that it was best to let the ink dry for a few seconds on the first side before printing on the opposite side.
