I print on fabric quite frequently. I have never used an additive to the fabric I'm using (personally, I think it's just a sales gimmick- and it apparently has succeeded). I ironmy fabric (the higher the thread-count the better) to freezer paper, cut to size and put throug my printer set to the highest resolution print setting. I also up the ink saturation (as noted above). I peel off the freezer paper, let the print set for a while and then iron to set. Done. I've never had an issue with fading (although wih ALL fabrics that is inevitable). Natutral and even artificial light are the enemies of printed fabrics from a home printer. Ironically, my cheapest, smallest HP printer works the best.
