I was refilling my black cartridge and the needle came out. That made
a big mess including black spots on the new T shirt I was wearing.
So I decide to use the left over ink from an old cartridge and tint
the T shirt black.
It is now on the sink with black ink and very hot water.

After this I wouldn't put it on the washer with other cloths. It may
destroy all other pieces of clothing.

Hi John,

Innovative...

But you need to indicate which type of ink and which printer type.

There are inks which are dye colorant based, some which are hybrid
mixes, and some which use pigment inks.

Many Canon printers, for instance use a pigment ink for black text while
using another black for the photo printing which is dye colorant based.

Epson OEM inks come is at lest 5 variations, dye, dye-hybrid, pigment
matte, pigment glossy, and they all respond differently to things like
fabric, detergent, bleach, light, etc. Also, how you "set" the ink
(steam, hot water, acid (like vinegar) etc. will alter how permanent, or
how lightfast the colorant is.

Hi Art

I did mentioned
"It is now on the sink with black ink and very hot water"
The Ink came from a HP45 cartridge that is used by the HP series 900
and others
If this doesn't result I have very little to lose
Regards
John

You just have to dump that shirt. A T-shirt costs 25¢ at a garage sale.
