T-SHIRT printing solution with Magic White Ink

T-shirt prining Background analysis and market prospect



At this stage, there are two kinds of white ink applied to dark background t-shirt, such as Black T-shirt, Red T-Shirt, and Blue T-Shirt. One is the common White ink with which the t-shirt should be precoated. The other is Magic white ink (DTX-Wh) which is the product that can be printed on t-shirt directly without coating.



Regarding the printout quality, t-shirt with common white ink feels rigid and looks like pure white, and this white ink has little corrosion; and t-shirt with Magic white ink feels soft but the white looks like a little yellowish, because it changes t-shirt color by corroding the t-shirt, so you have to clean the head after printing job to protect it from corrosion.
