When unpacking a new shirt or hoodie with a direct-to-garment print, you may notice a vinegar-like scent, an off-white residue, or slight discoloration. Don't worry, that's not unusual, it is from a fixation agent utilized during the printing process and it is not permanent. I-Group Technologies manufactures the Viper line of pretreatment machines, the Image Armor line of pretreatments, and RTP Apparel pre-pretreated attire. The Viper line includes the MINI for small retailers and startups, the XPT-1000 as a mid-size unit, and the MAXX is a fully succesful production machine. DTG-printed attire may be tumble-dried on a low cycle but hang-dry works best. All-over printing or sublimation is a printing process the place the design is printed on paper with dye ink and then transferred instantly onto the fabric with heat. Getting a sense of what you should do to add pretreatment practices to your DTG printing process will set you ahead of the pack. Knowledge is half the battle and being armed |
