My understanding is that there are two kinds of inkjet ink. The cheaper, more popular kind will fade faster. I believe that photo cartridge ink is different. One is dye and the other is pigment.

I am still considering using an iron-on for a leather flight jacket I picked up for $10 from Value City. The leather has a kind of stone-washed jeans look to it. I actually want the transfer to crack. I am thinking of using an old WWI lady liberty, eagle, or possibly an old aviation sign.

The only problem with iron-ons is that there is no such thing as white ink so anything white has to be changed to a color.
