Direct printing on a cloth
•To minimize color variations, maintain constant humidity and tempera-
ture while printing directly on a cloth.
1. When using the Pigment ink for textile (TPig ink)
• No special preparation is necessary. Print on a dry cloth.
• Print twice to ensure higher color fastness.
• The post-treatment condition varies by the material of the heating process.
Determine the optimum condition carefully.
2. When using the dye ink
• Pre-treatment and post-treatment of the cloth are necessary according to the
acid dye ink (silk, nylon, etc.), reactive dye ink (cotton, etc.) or disperse dye
ink (polyester, etc.).
Refer to the Ink guidance.
• The machine can print on a wide variety of cloths and color stability, fastness
and tones can vary significantly by pre-treatment in particular. Use your own
judgment in deciding pretreatment and post-treatment and introduce changes
as deemed necessary.
3. When using the discharge liquid (discharge ink)
• After discharge printing, perform post treatment (heat press) immediately. If
it takes some time after discharge printing and some water is dried off, it may
reduce the effectiveness of discharging.
Please perform post treatment within 5 minutes after discharge printing.
• Set out the optimal condition according to status of use after discharge
process.
Reference: heat press 150 for 60 seconds
• Some unreacted discharge liquid still remains in fabric after discharge print-
ing and press heat. Those remaining liquid may cause turning into slight
yellow.
