Follow these guidelines as you handle and store printed
T-shirts:
- Avoid
storing T-shirts in direct sunlight, or in locations that are
subject to excessive dust, heat, or humidity. If T-shirts are
stored in a hot place after printing, the printed surface may
soften and become sticky.
- Do not dry
clean printed T-shirts.
- Turn printed
T-shirts inside out before washing and let them dry inside
out.
- To maintain the best quality, printed T-shirts should be air
dried. Tumble dryers may reduce image quality over time.
- Do not use
bleach. It may cause discoloration.
- Do not iron
directly onto the printed surface.
- Do not use
organic solvents, such as alcohol.
- Do not rub
the printed surface against vinyl or chloride-based artificial
leather. The colors may transfer to the leather.
- Do not rub
surfaces printed with color ink against surfaces printed with White
ink; the color may transfer. If this happens, use a soft cloth or
brush with a small amount of household detergent to wipe away the
transferred color.
- If you have
applied pre-treatment solution and fixed the ink, we recommend
soaking the T-shirt in water and washing it before wearing it to
remove any remaining traces of pre-treatment solution.
- If
pre-treatment solution is applied to a white or light-colored
T-shirt, the treated side may turn yellow. Print soon after
applying the pre-treatment solution and wash in water. Avoid direct
sunlight if you store the T-shirt without printing.
- For
light-colored T-shirts, let the pre-treatment solution air dry
before heat-pressing; otherwise, staining may occur.
