And really hot water seemed to offer bad results-- bad things happened with really hot water. Also, no matter how much I left it in water-- registration was still never perfect-- so it almost seemed pointless. And then I discovered the perfect paper that required no pre-shrinking (up to a certain size), and no sizing-- so I put it all out of my head after that. ;)
