The PLATINUM pretreatment will work on a wide variety of fabrics, including this 50/50 Heather Blue Jerzees shirt. Note that NO pretreatment will cover an “air gap” (where the thread weave leaves open air spaces, but PLATINUM does a great job on making even 50/50's look great. This Jerzees 50/50 shirt come out looking incedible using Platinum.
On this pale yellow Bella Canvas shirt the PLATINUM created a super smooth white ink film resulting in a striking color contrast with the print. Typical pretreatment discoloration can be reduced with PLATINUM in RTU form or by cutting PLATINUM with a little more water. Making DTG printing easier is our job at Image Armor.
Tri-Blends are always a challenge to print. But PLATINUM can make this a little easier. Since there is polyester in the fabric content you can still run into dye migration issues but PLATINUM does a great job of making these typically difficult to print fabrics much easier. This Next Level red Tri-blend looked like a high end screen print.
Baby Blue 100% cotton shirts can be a real challenge to pretreat without staining or discoloration. PLATINUM reduces this more than other pretreatments. We won't claim it will totally get rid of that issue (that'd be lying) because we can't control the residual chemicals often left in fabric from the mills.
