Pre-treatment liquid (consumable)
Apply the diluted pre-treatment liquid to the T-shirt
with a roller or spray bottle before printing.
Pure water (commercially available)
Dilutes the pre-treatment liquid.
Pre-treatment liquid roller (option or commercially
available)
This is used to apply pre-treatment liquid to the
T-shirts. Using a roller makes it easier to apply the liquid
better to uneven areas such as pockets, and wastes less
liquid from splashing and so on compared to sprays.
However, if the liquid is not applied evenly, the
whiteness may not be sufficient or it may uneven.
The optional pre-treatment roller set consists of the
roller and handle (roller grip), and a tray.
We recommend the following items when using
commercially available products.
Roller: Short bristled, polyester fiber with excellent
absorption and release of liquid (such as a paint roller).
Roller handle: Made of rust-resistant aluminum
You also need a separate tray to allow the pre-treatment
liquid to soak into the roller.
Spray bottle (commercially available)
This is used to apply pre-treatment liquid to the
T-shirts.
This allows you to apply quickly and easily compared to
a roller. However, when spraying a mist on to T-shirts,
the pre-treatment liquid is often wasted as it sprays
beyond the edges of the T-shirt, you also need to secure a
space to use the spray.
Prepare a spray bottle that allows you to spray a fine mist
(we recommend an electric spray bottle).
