Direct-to-garment (DTG) printing has revolutionised the world of apparel customisation, enabling businesses to produce high-quality, vibrant designs with remarkable precision and efficiency. Central to achieving optimal results in DTG printing, particularly on dark fabrics, is the strategic use of pretreatment solutions. In this guide, we delve into the nuances of Kodak KODACOLOR pretreatment, exploring its key features, application methods, and the transformative impact it can have on your printing endeavours.
Understanding the role of pretreatment in DTG printing
Pretreatment is the ingredient behind the success of DTG printing on dark-coloured garments. Acting as a bridge between the fabric and the ink, pretreatment primes the surface, ensuring proper adhesion and vibrant colour reproduction. Without pretreatment, the ink may struggle to bond effectively with the fabric, leading to lacklustre results and compromised durability.
