Material Discoloration & How to Avoid It
The direct to garment ink system we use is non-hazardous, nontoxic, and contains no heavy metals. The inks are also vegan, organic, and biodegradable. 🍃
While direct to garment printing has enormous financial and sustainability advantages for brands, there are some small drawbacks that are worth covering.
Some light colored garments, such as light blue, turquoise, or light green, may show minor discoloration when they are direct to garment printed. The discoloration is caused by a reaction between the fixation agent and the dyes of the garment. Unfortunately, applying the fixation agent is a required step for all digital prints and there is nothing we can do to prevent the minor discoloration.
There are some steps you can take to prevent or avoid this issue altogether. Don't direct to garment print on these colors. Instead use screen printing for these garment colors. Always order a sample before ordering in bulk.
