IMAGE ARMOR LIGHT
Image Armor LIGHT Shirt Formula creates a whole new dynamic for the DTG printing world giving multiple options in printing your designs, with incredible results. First, if you are NOT printing a white under base on your garments, Image Armor LIGHT will provide unparalleled image quality sharpness, vibrancy, and wash durability. Simply apply Image Armor LIGHT using a spray gun or automated pretreatment application machine (which is recommended for repeatable results), dry, and print.
Also, most other pretreatments do not allow you to print only CMYK inks onto the garment. These pretreatments are made for printing a white under base and then your CMYK inks. However, if you do print a CMYK only print on one of these pretreatments the print will look great prior to washing, but when it is washed it will fade dramatically.
Image Armor LIGHT Formula gives you the flexibility of printing a white under base on the garment and then printing your CMYK colors on top, while still giving incredible washability and performance capabilities. This allows for a variety of printing configurations including the ability to NOT print a white under the base where the black ink is located. This results in using less white ink while still achieving incredible prints on the final garments.
In addition to these great characteristics, we've recently developed a method for allowing Dupont® ink users who WANT to print some LIGHT Colored 100% polyester shirts with white ink to do be able to achieve this "holy grail" of DTG printing. As you can see in the image to the right, printing 100% polyesters is possible though black and red (and some other darker colors) are still slightly out of reach.
