Digital Printing

GP-604D uses non-screen and digital printing techniques which enable a designer to create samples and to support small lot production. Due to on-demand production workflow, redundant stocks are not necessary. In addition, screen storage space is not required because of non-screen techniques. Simply resize designs to match any T-shirt size. The print area is freely determined by the user. You can neatly print on garments, collars, and sleeves, which aren't available by silk screen techniques.

Discharge Printing

 
Enables you to print on a dark color T-shirt.
An organically-dyed T-shirt can be bleached by chemicals. For the first time a newly developed discharge liquid supports ink-jet printers -- this allows printing on dark color T-shirts. Gradations are also perfectly expressible, which expands characteristics of an ink-jet printer.
 
*Discharge results depend largely on organic dyeing. Please make sure to make a test print of the garment beforehand.
*The concentration of formaldehyde in discharged T-shirts exceeds Oeko-tex Standard 100.Please wash all finished
products before wearing.
Discharged sample
 
 
 
Discharging method
 
There are several discharging methods as follows:

Printing only by discharge liquid
 
Print the image by using only the discharge liquid.Create a monochrome image as the original image.
Printing only by discharge liquid
Printing simultaneously with color image
 
Print the color ink and the discharge liquid simultaneously.If a colored T-shirt is printed with only the color ink, the image does not stand out. Printing by simultaneously using the discharge liquid removes the color on the T-shirt, and the color ink obtains good color development.
Printing simultaneously with color image


Tender texture
Soft-texture T-shirt that maintains breathability.
GP-604D uses a dedicated textile pigment (TP) ink. A softer finish which differs from thermal-transfer or silk-screen printing can be obtained.
 
TP (Textile Pigment) ink
   
TP Ink is safe and contains very low levels of formaldehyde. It does not impair air permeability or the water-absorbing properties of fabrics. Printed fabric keeps a very pleasant feel. Because of a special binder, only heating after printing can complete the job.
 
*Color fastness to washing differs according to the garment materials, etc.Please confirm the color fastness yourself by washing finished garments.
*Printed fabrics contain very low levels of folmaldehyde, please don't use it for baby goods.
