DTG Light Garment PreTreat - 1 Gallon
Before Use: Always SHAKE the container before using or pouring into your pretreatment machine container.
Application: Apply evenly, preferably with a Pretreatment machine. However a HVLP spray gun will work well.
If you are printing a 14x14 inch print you will want 15g minimum to get good results.
How do you test that?
- Weigh blank shirt
- Use cardboard to make a 14x14 square
- Spray in square only
- Weigh shirt again.
- It should be 15-18 grams
. If you go as high as 25 grams, you can get even better results.
IMPORTANT: There are many shirt options, styles and colors. Some will perform differently than others. Always test your pretreat method and print before doing full production.
Shelf Life: 6 months
Other tips:
Heavier Garment = More Pretreat
Darker Color = More Pretreat
