If properly cured, both should be perfectly durable and remain affixed to the shirt instead of rubbing off on an infant's skin. My concern would be ingestion of the ink; the thing to do would be to get the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for inks to check their toxicity. As for the press, I know only about screenprinting. Hopefully the video was helpful. You could always try contacting Tugboat Printshop through their Etsy shop! Cheers, Joe Hi Vanessa,

Thanks for sharing! I'm researching making wood block clothes for infants, and wondered if any of you guys could recommend a healthy water-based ink. And I don't have a press, but do you think for small pieces that a good manual hand/foot press could create an even spread? Great video and design. Thanks for sharing!

I was wondering if you also carved the woodcuts yourselves?? I would love to see a video of how you do that.
