Colourfast at 30°C (except Tickencote pink*). Cool temperatures and a detergent without optical whiteners, (I recommend Ecover) should be used when washing the fabrics after printing and heat setting.

Heat setting is essential for a colourfast finish. Heat set at 160°C for 2 to 3 minutes (an iron can be used)
-
Store at cool temperatures and out of sunlight to protect the shelf life
-
The colours are not all fully lightfast and it is advisable to keep all printed products protected from strong light, to maintain their quality.
