What you are looking for is called a "mordant". It is
used on cotton fabric to help the dye molecule adhere
to the fiber.

Think of it also as a "primer"

The problem is to find one that reacts on the ink, but
doesn't block the etchant.

I tried a light coating of hair spray before printing.
I can tell you from expeerience, cured hair spray is
an excellent resist!  ;)
