DTG Light Garment PreTreat - 1 Gallon

Before Use: Always SHAKE the container before using or pouring into your pretreatment machine container.

Application: Apply evenly, preferably with a Pretreatment machine. However a HVLP spray gun will work well.

If you are printing a 14x14 inch print you will want 15g minimum to get good results.

How do you test that?   

• Weigh blank shirt
  
• Use cardboard to make a 14x14 square 
  
• Spray in square only
  
• Weigh shirt again. 
  
• It should be 15-18 grams…. If you go as high as 25 grams, you can get even better results.
  

IMPORTANT: There are many shirt options, styles and colors. Some will perform differently than others. Always test your pretreat method and print before doing full production.

Shelf Life: 6 months
