question Genesis Heat Set Paints

Hello to all:

I have some questions about the Genesis heat set colors. I guess I wonder about their permanence, and the lightfastness of the pigments over time. I believe that they are formulated much in the same manner as T-Shirt fabric inks are - i.e., they have a similar heat set ingredient.

Karin: When you got your Genesis colors, did they provide any information about "what" specifically they are made of? And does the company make any assertions about their permanence or lightfastness?

I am attracted to the idea of them, but am quite wary because nowhere can I find this information.

If anyone can point me to this information, I would appreciate it.
