Garments can be full of lint and some have more than others. Lint is NOT your friend. It can
settle on key components inside the FreeJet TX, affecting print quality and printer operation.
For better results: use a lint brush to remove any loose lint from the garment. Place the
garment on a heat press and lightly spray with water. Place a piece of silicon parchment
paper over the garment Press it for 15 to 30 seconds to dry the garment.
This process will allow the excess lint to be shaken off, the fibers on the garment to be pressed
down and the wrinkles pressed out before you place it on the garment board.
