Pre-treating a T-shirt with a Pre-treatment Machine
Since pre-treatment machine models may vary in operation and controls, you should consult the pre-
treatment machine documentation.
Warning: Depending on the type of sprayer used, the machine may create a mist when applying the
pre-treatment solution. Wear a mask, protective eyewear, and gloves, and make sure the area is well
ventilated. The solution mist could also enter the printer and cause a malfunction or damage the product.
If necessary, install the pre-treatment machine in a location away from the printer.
Note: Apply approximately 0.5 ounces (15 grams) of pre-treatment solution to printing areas of letter-
/A4-size. Do not apply too much pre-treatment liquid; otherwise, the print quality may decline.
1. Pour the diluted pre-treatment solution into the pre-treatment machine as directed by the
manufacturer.
2. Spread out the T-shirt on a flat surface.
3. Use sticky tape (or a lint roller) to remove lint from the area where you will apply the pre-treatment
solution.
4. Place the T-shirt on the pre-treatment machine platen.
5. Set the controls to adequately cover the desired printed area with pre-treatment solution. (On 1 to
100 dial controls, this may be 30 to 45.) We recommend applying the pre-treatment solution to an
area larger than the target print area.
Note: You can apply the solution evenly by running the roller over the treated area.
