Pretreatment solutions for direct-to-garment (DTG) printing are essential for preparing the fabric before printing to ensure optimal results. These solutions typically consist of specialized chemicals that help the ink adhere to the fabric, enhance color vibrancy, and improve durability. Image Armor and Epson Pretreatments available.
-
Improves Ink Adhesion: Pretreatment helps DTG inks bond effectively with the fabric, preventing them from sitting on the surface or fading quickly.
-
Increases Print Durability: By creating a better surface for ink to bond with, pretreatment ensures that the print lasts longer without cracking, peeling, or fading.
-
Enhances Color Vibrancy: The solution also aids in bringing out more vibrant, sharp colors in the final print by creating a more consistent surface.
-
Reduces Ink Consumption: A well-prepared surface allows for more efficient ink usage, reducing the amount of ink required per print and improving overall cost-effectiveness.
