Diluting the Pre-treatment Solution
Before applying the pre-treatment solution to a T-shirt, make sure you dilute it correctly with distilled or
purified water as described here.
Caution: If you do not dilute the pre-treatment solution, it leaves noticeable traces on the T-shirt or the
printed surface cracks after washing. If the pre-treatment solution is too weak, White ink does not adhere
to the fabric and the desired whiteness cannot be achieved.
