Inkjet fixative
I buy image stamps from Pink Petticoat and saw on Liz's blog that she uses Ghiant injet fixative to 'fix' the ink before water colouring the images. I've bought some of this, sprayed my images left to dry and then coloured with water colours and applied the water but it still ran. I then sprayed a second coat on another image and left to dry over night and did the same, it doesn't run as much but there is still some black ink in my water coloured images. Anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

HI don't know what you are doing wrong, but I find if you spray printed images lightly with cheap hairspray the black ink doesn't run

Use an Epson printer!! Their ink doesn't run at all. You can pick up a cheap one for about £30 and I have one just for this purpose, it is fab and as you can replace the inks separately it doesn't cost a fortune to run either!

Thanks for the tips. looking into getting a new printer as mine is quite old, one of the first decent quality photo printers, and it doesn't do borderless printing, kinda getting on my nerves when I am printing background papers!
