Pre-treatment

If you notice any creases on the T-shirt, use the heat
press to iron them out before you start printing. When
printing with White ink, apply the pre-treatment liquid.
Once this is done, perform the printer preparations.

Using Pre-treatment Liquid

Pre-treatment liquid is necessary when printing with
White ink; however, if the liquid is used when printing
with color ink only, the fabric becomes less resistant to
washing and friction.
Prepare a roller or spray bottle to apply the liquid to the
T-shirts.

Caution:
!
❏ Always wear protective eyewear and gloves
when applying the liquid.
Should any pre-treatment liquid contact your
skin or enter your eyes or mouth, immediately
take the following actions:
- If fluid adheres to your skin, immediately
wash it off using large volumes of soapy water.
Consult a physician if the skin appears
irritated or is discolored.
- If fluid enters your eyes, rinse immediately
with water. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in bloodshot eyes or mild
inflammation. If problems persist, consult a
physician.
- If any enters your mouth, consult a physician
immediately.
- If fluid is swallowed, do not force the person to
vomit and consult a physician immediately. If
the person is forced to vomit, fluid may get
caught in the trachea which can be dangerous.
❏ Store out of the reach of children.
❏ After work, wash your hands and gargle
thoroughly.
Important:
c
❏ Liquid may be spattered about when applying
the pre-treatment liquid. Always wear
protective eyewear and gloves when
performing work, and make sure the area is
well ventilated.
❏ Only prepare as much liquid as necessary for
the current job. If you prepare more than
required and leave it, it may harden.
❏ Do not store in high or freezing temperatures.
❏ Avoid direct sunlight. Store at normal room
temperature.
❏ If pre-treatment liquid gets stuck to the print
head, it could cause the printer to malfunction
and print quality to decline. Make sure that
liquid does not stick to the inside of the printer
by accident during maintenance operations
and so on.
