SHIRT INFO

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW APPAREL
All inks used in its creation are water-based and eco-friendly. We use a special solution in the printing process, so don’t worry if you notice a slight new shirt scent or some discoloration. It will disappear after the first wash.

PRINTING
Our apparel is created with the latest in garment printing technology. This makes the feel much softer than traditional screen printed shirts, but just as durable. We use genuine Brother GT-3, water based pigment inks. GT-3 inks are CPSIA compliant and Oeko-Tex™ certified, which means they are safe to print on youth/children’s clothing and reduce environmental waste. Also, GT-3 inks provide a high washing colorfast AATCC rating of 4.

DISCLAIMER ABOUT OUR PRINTS
You may notice an off-white residue and vinegar smell on your apparel. Don't worry! It's from a fixation agent applied during printing and it's not permanent.
Fixation agent (sometimes known as pre-treatment) is used for all DTG prints across the industry. It's needed so ink bonds with the fabric. Without it, ink would flake off the garment. You can think of it sort of like applying a primer before painting a wall.
The fixation agent can sometimes leave a faint square imprint around the print, and other small white marks on the garment. Your DTG apparel might also have a vinegar smell that gets stronger the longer it's in the poly bag packaging.
The solution is simply to wash the garment! Neither the residue nor the smell is permanent and both should go away after one wash.
