Pre-treatment Solution Safety Precautions
If you are printing with White ink, pre-treatment solution must be applied to the T-shirt. Observe these
precautions when applying the pre-treatment solution:
• Always wear gloves when applying the pre-treatment solution. If pre-treatment solution comes in
contact with your skin or enters your eyes or mouth, take the following actions:
• If you get pre-treatment solution on your skin, immediately wash it off using soap and water. Consult
a physician if your skin is irritated or discolored.
• If pre-treatment solution gets in your eyes, rinse immediately with water. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in bloodshot eyes or mild inflammation. If problems persist, consult a
physician.
• If pre-treatment solution gets in your mouth, consult a physician immediately. If swallowed, do not
induce vomiting and consult a physician immediately. If vomiting is induced, solution may get caught
in the trachea which can be dangerous.
• Store the pre-treatment solution out of the reach of children.
• After working with the pre-treatment solution, wash your hands thoroughly.
• Store the pre-treatment solution at room temperature and away from direct sunlight.
• Do not put waste pre-treatment solution in the waste ink bottle as it will solidify if mixed with waste ink.
Caution: Pre-treatment solution is classified as industrial waste and must be disposed of by an industrial
waste disposal company according to local laws and regulations. When handing over the pre-treatment
solution to an industrial waste disposal company, make sure you include these safety precautions.
