About the T-Jet Blazer Series Printers
The T-Jet Blazer Series printers are inkjet printers that have been modied to print on almost any type
of fabric material as well as non-textiles, such as metal, wood and plastics. The ink, however, will not
work on waterproof nylon and most synthetic materials. In the past, this type of printing was difcult, if
not impossible to do because there were no inks available that would work on both 100% cotton or 50/50
cotton/polyester blends AND withstand the rigors of washing.
That all changed with the introduction of FastINK Textile Ink. Designed specically for these materials,
FastINK requires only a post-treatment of heat to cure when printed on lighter shirts. It’s even possible
to print with White ink on dark shirts with the application of a Pretreatment. This ink is so versatile it
can even be used for printing on non-textiles by applying Fast T-Jet Non-Textile Pretreatment to the item
before printing and Fast T-Jet Non-Textile Post-Treatment to the item after printing.
