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.

9. Heat the T-Shirt with “Heat Press Machine” at 185oC for 2minuts.

Notice : Regarding our discharging ink(DTX-Wh), you had better clean the printheadby use of normal txcleaner or water. One of characteristic of all discharging ink might corrode inside of head nozzles. According to our experience, the corroding might be happened after 3 weeks more or less. The best way to clean the head is to stuff cleaner into the empty cartridges, then try to use head cleaning function by use of BrotherRipwhen you finish & stop the print jobs.
