Handling T-shirts (Media)
Follow these guidelines as you handle and store printed T-shirts:
• Avoid storing T-shirts in direct sunlight, or in locations that are subject to excessive dust, heat, or
humidity. If T-shirts are stored in a hot place after printing, the printed surface may soften and become
sticky.
• Do not expose printed T-shirts to direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
• Do not dry clean printed T-shirts.
• Turn printed T-shirts inside out before washing and let them dry inside out.
• Do not use a tumble dryer.
• Do not use bleach. It may cause discoloration.
• Do not iron directly onto the printed surface.
• Do not use organic solvents, such as alcohol.
• Do not rub the printed surface against vinyl or chloride-based artificial leather. The colors may transfer
to the leather.
• Do not rub surfaces printed with color ink against surfaces printed with White ink; the color may
transfer. If this happens, use a soft cloth or brush with a small amount of household detergent to wipe
away the transferred color.
• If you have applied pre-treatment solution and fixed the ink, we recommend soaking the T-shirt in
water and washing it before wearing it to remove any remaining traces of pre-treatment solution.
• If traces of the pre-treatment solution are visible, try washing the shirt in water; however, the effects
depend on the T-shirt material.
• If pre-treatment solution is applied to a white or light-colored T-shirt, the treated side may turn yellow.
Print soon after applying the pre-treatment solution and wash in water. Avoid direct sunlight if you
store the T-shirt without printing.
