permanent market and the washing machine

i got a pretty important signature on my shirt this weekend and i was wondering whether or not it will wash off of the shirt if i put it in the washing machine
+1 to whoever can identify who signed it

[quote=Miiro]You should set the ink beforehand by applying heat to it. Put a white cloth (a pillowcase could work) between the shirt and iron it on the highest heat.
In the instance that you don't have an iron, you should be able to apply a similar effect by tossing the shirt into a dryer on a high setting for about 15 minutes.

When washing, turn it inside out and put it in a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent like Woolite. I think it's probably safer to hand wash it, though...and to wash it as little as possible. Even Sharpie will grey out eventually over continuous washes.
