Q.
Will the PillowPics FotoFab Fabric
work in my inkjet printer?
A. FotoFab Fabric
is designed to work just like a piece
of paper with consumer inkjet printers (NOT for LASER or
other types of printers!). A wide range of dye and pigmented
inks from the major manufacturers have been tested. Most
inks provide a superior image, however we recommend staying
away from the special photo inks that are available for
some printers. These photo ink colors are lighter and won't
provide as vivid an image as regular inks. Two pieces of
FotoFab Fabric
are included in the kit to ensure that you have the best
finished product.
Q.
How safe is the treated FotoFab
Fabric?
A. Very safe! There are no toxic chemicals used in our
patent pending chemical treatment. If you have any questions
regarding your ink formulation, visit your manufacturer's
website for further information.
Q. What
if I'm having a problem getting the fabric to feed into
my printer?
A. In older printers, that have been used excessively,
sometimes the rollers become less efficient. Simply place
a strip of 1" masking tape, 1/2" across the feed
edge of the fabric and fold over to the back side. This
will help the rollers grab the fabric. Remember to use only
1/2" on the front because whatever is covered by the
masking tape will not be printed.
Q.
How important is the heat setting?
A. The heat setting is very important. Set the iron
heat setting for silk. Overly hot settings will cause the
ribbon frame to discolor and the fabric to scorch. An ironing
cloth is included. Any accidental scorching can be removed
with vinegar. Any damage due to an overly hot iron setting
is not covered under warranty.
Q.
How light fast is the fabric?
A. Surprisingly
so! Of course, just as with any fabric print, such as used
in clothing, you can expect that exposure to bright light
will, over time, cause some fading. Bright light, air quality,
usage, and cleaning are all capable of reducing the color
intensity. So, don't worry, just let life happen; you can
always make another!
Q.
How do I clean my pillow?
A. The pillows are a decorative item and should be spot
cleaned only with a damp cloth. For a more through cleaning,
the pillow sham can be dry cleaned. To preserve the condition
of your pillow, the optional ScotchGard treatment
is suggested.
Q.
What do I do if I mess up my FotoFab
Fabric sheets?
A. There are two
templates to use in your trial run. There are also two pieces
of FotoFab
Fabric included in each kit. However, if
you still have problems, we offer sets of 5 FotoFab
Fabric sheets for $12.00 + shipping and
handling.
