Types of Pretreatment
Currently we offer three types of Pretreatment-FastINK Textile Pretreatment, FastBRIGHT Textile
Pretreatment and FastCOLOR Textile Pretreatment:
• FastINK Pretreatment is specically designed for use on Dark colored garments, allowing
for extremely bright Whites and vibrant colors. FastINK Pretreatment should only be
used with medium to dark colored garments due to possible discoloration of light shirts
when exposed to direct sunlight.
• FastBRIGHT
Pretreatment works extremely well with light colored
garments and images that have an Underbase. Using FastBRIGHT creates vibrant
images with rich, deep Blacks and Reds that will not discolor when exposed to direct
sunlight.
• FastCOLOR reduces cure times while GREATLY increasing the color
brilliance and washability of your print. This pretreatment is designed for use with images
on light colored shirts with NO White ink.
WARNING
DO NOT mix any of the Pretreatments together or the result will be ruined shirts.
Proper Pretreatment Application is Critical
All of our Pretreatments are specially formulated liquids that prevent ink pigments from being absorbed
by the fabric of a garment. When applying a Pretreatment solution, do not saturate the garment! You don’t
want the shirt to be soaking wet.
• Move the spray gun from side to side in even strokes.
Light shirts only require a misting back and forth, but
Black and other dark colors will need a slightly heavier
application. Always refer to the pretreatment packaging
for the best application methods.
The proper amount of Pretreatment needed, is
something that you will get the hang of with repetition.
The main idea is to get an even coat throughout the
shirt or print area.
Please note, if you miss a spot or apply the
Pretreatment in an uneven spray, it will be noticeable
in the nal print.
