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.

White printing with flatbed printer

As one of the few companies that have the white printing technology, Brother-Jet is still working on the improvements of the inks for the white ink’s stability. For the white printing, we will need to have the following steps:

A: Make the coating（By electric gun and spray;

B: Make the first layer printing (This can be white first or color first);we need to make the setting through the software.

C: Make the other layer printing to make up step B.

D: Finish.

Remarks: The white ink is not that stable so far and we will need to print more than one time actually or the white layer as background will be too weak.

If we use the white printing, the colors will be:

Brotherjet-1390 flatbed printer from 6 colors( C,M,Y,K,LC,LM) to 5 colors (C,M,Y,K,W,W).
Brotherjet-1900 flatbed printer from 8 colors(C,M,Y,K,LC,LM,LK,Orange) to 5 colors(C,M,Y,K,W,W,W,W).
