Diluting the pre-treatment
liquid
Apply the diluted or undiluted pre-treatment liquid to
the T-shirt. Whether or not the liquid is diluted and the
dilution ratio depend on the pre-treatment liquid, the
ink used, and the device for fixing ink; so be sure to
follow the information in the next section. When
diluting, be sure to use distilled or purified water.
Cotton pre-treatment liquid
Be sure to dilute the cotton pre-treatment liquid before
use. As the dilution ratio differs according to the type of
device for fixing ink, use the following information to
determine the dilution ratio.
When fixing ink with a heat press
Dilute by a factor of two. (Pre-treatment liquid: Pure
water = 1:1)
If unevenness occurs after fixing the ink (when color ink
is overlaid on White ink, and so on) or traces of the
pre-treatment liquid are visible, try increasing the
dilution ratio to the following maximum value.
Printing area is A4 or smaller: Dilute by a maximum of a
factor of three
Printing area is larger than A4: Dilute by a maximum of
a factor of four
