*Smart Blanks does not assume responsibility for the use of the recommendations below.
ALL OF OUR 100% COTTON OR COTTON FACING PRODUCTS ARE BEST FOR DTG PRINTING. A PRETREATMENT MUST BE USED ON OUR GARMENTS BEFORE PRINTING. IT IS ALWAYS RECOMMENDED TO PRINT A SAMPLE TO MAKE SURE THE PRINT COLOR IS CORRECT.
PLASTISOL AND WATERBASE INKS WORK WELL DEPENDING ON THE DESIGN OF THE PRINT AND COLOR OF THE GARMENT. DISCHARGE PRINTING WILL WORK ON 100% COTTON AND ANY GARMENT THAT CONTAINS POLY IN IT WILL AFFECT THE FINAL PRINT LOOK.
WHEN PRINTING A CAMO OR ALLOVER PRINT GARMENT, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT A BLOCKER IS USED IN ORDER TO AVOID CONTAMINATION ONTO THE PRINT.
ON BLENDED COLORED GARMENTS, OTHER THAN WHITE, IT IS ALWAYS RECOMMENDED TO USE A POLY BLOCKER TO KEEP THE DYE IN THE POLYESTER FABRIC FROM MIGRATING AND CHANGING THE PRINT COLOR. DYE MIGRATION CAN HAPPEN HOURS OR DAYS AFTER PRINTING IS FINISHED.
NONE OF OUR GARMENTS ARE PREPARED FOR DYEING. IF CHOOSING TO OVERDYE OUR GARMENTS, IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO RUN A SAMPLE BEFORE PRODUCTION.
IT IS NEVER RECOMMENDED TO STACK HOT GARMENTS ON TOP OF EACH OTHER AFTER PRINTING. ALWAYS LET THE GARMENT COOL BEFOREHAND.
