Message: I have a t-shirt which was autographed in felt-tip pen by a celebrity . How can I fix the signature so it does not bleed or wash out ?

Put it in a scrapbook, photo album, or picture frame, and never, ever wash it.

If the felt-tip pen is water-soluble ink, the best thing to do, if you want to wear it, would be to photocopy it and transfer it to an iron-on. Save the original from the laundry. Try one of these products to transfer your copy to another shirt to wear: <http://www.dharmatrading.com/transfer_products.html>

You cannot 'set' the water-soluble ink of a felt-tip pen so that it does not wash out. If you want an autograph that can be washed, you must be sure to first give your celebrity a truly permanent marker, such as a laundry pen or a fabric marker pen.

Sharpie pens (permanent markers) usually work pretty well, but are not guaranteed to never wash out. Signatures made with water-based pens usually wash right out.
