Dyeing with expired printer ink: silk thermal shirt

Here are some photos of the silk thermal that I tie dyed with expired ink. The ink is used for printer cartridge refilling, and after x years it is no longer suitable. The silk thermal is from Dharma Trading Co. I used two black formulations and the same method as dyeing with food color, more or less. The shirt: Tie dyed black shirt Detail: Detail of dye pattern Same shirt, photo taken at night (higher contrast): Higher contrast detail of dye pattern
