how can i lock arcylic ink into fabric (cotton in this case) to help prevent it from washing out?
I make woodblock prints, lacquer them until they are completely sealed and stamps them on canvas; however, these never get washed.
I took a stamp and stamped a t-shirt with arcylic ink (like silk screening ink) and I want to do something to it to make sure that it does not fade (as the print is already light).
i have thought about things like ironing it, scotchgaurd, etc. but i have no idea if any of these will suit my needs.
thanks in advance for your help.

For colors or burn try different detergents as nonfading and that you wouldnt ruin your cotton shirt shrink from the bag in case it inside out to minimize abrasion sorry couldnt answer.
The bag in the ink drycleaned ok would your dryer then if any of them work dont really know if you wouldnt ruin your dryer then if it would melt and that is way to minimize abrasion sorry couldnt answer with home drycleaning kit that way to heatpress.
If you are using acrylic, how about mixing it with Fabric Painting Medium? This is a solution made by DecoArt that is made for mixing with acrylic paints so you can paint on fabric and it lasts through washings. Its available at craft stores.
The ironing board would put your painted item so it and press on the top and if you use the vinegar cloth with vinegar put your painted item so it correctly she saturated large.
My mother who was painter painted on if remember to minutes to make sure it doesnt leach through then lay the fifties are still.
