Before Using Your Printer for the First Time
T-shirt (printing medium)
100% cotton
Polyester blended yarn fabric
<TIPS>
Although it is advisable to use a 100% cotton T-shirt, some textiles cannot necessarily guarantee good printing quality even
if they are made of 100% cotton or blended yarn. In particular, for a T-shirt made of new material, perform a printing test on
it beforehand.
Some textiles may leave noticeable imprints of the pretreatment after it is fixated. In that case, wash them away with water.
Perform a printing test beforehand. Then, the following phenomena may occur:
- The textiles may be discolored by the pretreatment and cannot be restored to the original color even if they are washed.
- A deep-colored polyester blended yarn fabric dissolves dye, which may cause the white ink to change to a slightly different
color.
- Fabric material may turn yellow after the pretreatment is fixed.
