Checking White Polyester Garments
Check the white polyester garment that you want to use.
Make sure there is no lint, dust, or dirt on the garment. This may cause the poor printed image.
White Polyester garments
Printing on white polyester garments uses color ink.
• Perform pre-treatment for the garment.
For details, see page
114, “Pre-treatment of White Polyester Garments”.
• Set the temperature of the heat press device to 330˚F or 165˚C.
Pre-treatment of White Polyester Garments
 Pre-treatment application to prepare
If you want to use the white polyester garments to print, you will need the following for pre-treatment
application:
This section describes an example of using the “Pre-Treatment for Color Ink” pre-treatment liquid.
• A well-ventilated room: good ventilation is essential for worker comfort and health. Application of
pre-treatment liquid outdoors is not recommended on windy days, as the wind can cause uneven
application. It is recommended that a room away from the printer be dedicated to the application of
pre-treatment so that the spray will not affect your printer.
• The color of the garment may change due to the application of the pre-treatment liquid and may not
return to its original color even after washing. Please test the product on an inconspicuous area
before use.
• Our recommended process for applying the pre-treatment liquid is to use a high-volume, low-
pressure (HVLP) spray gun. These spray guns are commonly used for applying paints and are
available from paint supply stores or home improvement stores. The Wagner Control Spray Gun,
available for U.S. customers ONLY (figure below) and the Campbell Hausfeld Paint Sprayer, found
in local hardware stores, are both good choices.
