several times a week during storage. This will prevent possible settling of solids in the white ink. Do not be concerned if you cannot shake the cartridges over the weekend or during a short vacation. 6. Pre-treatment of Dark Colored Garments. Pre-treatment Liquid is to be used with care. Do not let it contact your eyes. Do not breathe the vapor or mist. Thoroughly wash your hands after handling it. If the clothing gets contaminated, wash it before reuse. Follow the Caution and First Aid instructions on the Pre-treatment Liquid bottle label. For dark garment printing, the most critical process is proper application of Pre-treatment Liquid onto the garments. Spotty or improper application of the Pre-treatment Liquid or improper drying process will result in white ink not bonding properly with the garment fabric. This will cause poor image quality and premature wash out of the ink. You will need the following for pre-treatment. A well ventilated room. Good ventilation is essential for worker comfort and health. Application of Pre-treatment Liquid outdoors is not recommended on days as it can cause uneven application. It is recommended that a room be dedicated to the spray of pre-treatment so that the spray will not contaminate other materials. If this is not possible, we recommend the use of an AnaJet Booth. This will contain any overspray or vapors that may occur. Do not spray near the AnaJet printer as the fine spray can interfere with the printer operation. A good way to apply the Pre-treatment Liquid is to use a high volume low pressure (HVLP) spray gun. Such pray guns are commonly used for applying paints. These are available from paint supply stores or home improvement stores. Wagner Control Spray Gun and Campbell Hausfeld Paint Sprayer are some of the popular brands. This is also the recommended tool when using the AnaJet Pre-Treatment Booth. Image 6.1: Wagner Control Spray Gun Process:
