Pretreat the shirt using Image Armor LIGHT Shirt Formula. Currently we have to do a little “workaround” to make the magic happen. The process is relatively straight forward, but we are expecting the RIP manufacturers to follow suit to give end users this ability from within the RIP itself to make it much easier to accomplish.
Utilizing our existing Image Armor LIGHT Shirt formula, we have been able to achieve commercially acceptable white ink prints on mid-colored polyester fabrics. WE’RE NOT THERE YET, but the results of our process speaks volumes about the direction of the DTG market.
However, in our constant pursuit of perfection, we’ve taken another step closer to the holy grail of DTG printing – white inks on black polyester fabrics. Up until today, polyester printing with DTG has been limited to CMYK only on light or white colored polyester shirts. Products that improve the DTG printing experience is what drives us to constantly improve the direct to garment printing process. Image Armor Has Done it Again 100% Polyester Printing with Regular Dupont Inksĭoing the IMPOSSIBLE is what we’ve always strived to bring to our customers. So, let us know by using our Contact Us page.Ģ015 is going to be an awesome year for DTG! Happy New Year and thank you to everyone for making Image Armor the success that it is! We would love to hear what brand of printers and type of ink systems you would like to see brought to market first. Image Armor is committed to finding Solutions for the DTG Industry. We are proud to be a part of the DTG printing experience and helping our customers find better solutions to help them be more successful in the direct to garment business.

The future of DTG starts right here in 2015.Īs the new year progresses, we will be releasing the white ink for the modified Epson DTG printers as well as releasing ink sets for other brands of printers such as the Brother legacy printers (GT-541) as well as their new GT3 Series of printers. We see the future of our industry and it is much bigger than anyone can really imagine. Image Armor’s goal is to bring more affordable, better performing inks to the masses to help the DTG industry grow. Both bulk and bag forms will be available for purchase however no pricing structures have been set at this point in time. Initially we will be releasing our CMYK inks for the modified Epson series of DTG printers. What we did for the industry with our line of pretreatments we plan on doing again with our new CMYK and white ink sets. Image Armor, LLC is excited to announce that we will be releasing a new line of DTG inks for the direct to garment printing industry in 2015. Your reds, which on those printers actually was more of a muted red, will be enhanced to the point you’ll want to print more shirts on your DTG printer. This means if you have an older Brother GT-541 or 782 printer you can make it look like a new printer. The great thing with our LIGHT Shirt Formula is that it works with pretty much every CMYK ink set on the market today. The LIGHT Shirt formula works to increase wash durability on 50/50’s so that over the long haul you have a better looking shirt that lasts longer. There’s only so much ink that can “hold” to the garment. The problem there is that while it might help improve the image quality a little bit, you’re doubling your ink cost AND wash fastness will be even worse. Some reason that they can just do a double print to up the black intensity and color vibrancy. Why? As can be seen in the image to the left (click to enlarge) just simply pretreating the blended shirt will allow you to achieve much richer colors, blacker blacks, and an increased image detail that will help take your prints to the next level – one you’ll be proud to offer to your customers.
One such example is pretreating all of your white and light colored 50/50 garments with our LIGHT Shirt Formula. When they see what our pretreatments are capable of letting them achieve, they start to get excited. We often get DTG printers who stop by our booth and have never tried any of the Image Armor pretreatments. It’s fun for us to do the trade shows circuit with the Image Armor products.
