Tip of the Week: Using Couture Inks

Using Couture Inks is very similar to using Chalkology Pastes, with a few exceptions:

• Always put something under your project to protect your surface and prevent bleed through to a second layer on items such as t-shirts. (Our Ink Mats are the perfect add-on!)
• To avoid bleeding under the transfer, use a small amount of Ink and start your swipe outside, working your way into the open areas.
• Once your project is completely dry (I recommend 24 hours) heat set to make permanent.


To heat set on fabric, use an iron on a medium heat setting (no steam) for @ 4 minutes on each side.
Place a piece of parchment paper between your iron and the design. Wash as normal.
For oven safe items, such as glass, ceramics, metal (Make sure it is NOT powder coated!) place items in a cold oven. Pre-heat to 350 degrees. When oven reaches 350, set timer for @ 45 minutes. When time is expired, keep oven door closed, turn off your oven, but leave items until they are cold to touch. I like to do this over night.

And just like that, it is Permanent!
