hello

i have a black shirt printed by dtg kiosk.. there is a small area of print that i want to remove due to a default in the original design. the area is very small, smaller than a coin size..

what are options available to remove it, are there any solutions that can do the job, may be some bleach....

thanks

i should add that the shirt is already cured..

i have searched and found a couple of posts dealing with precured shirts

I don't think bleach works...I tried to bleach a printed Tee for fun, the print stay there very well.

Why not try a black sharpie pen and cover it up? Not sure if that will work for the size you have though. Just something to consider.

i also should add that the same print is also on a blue shirt.so the sharpie solution wont apply there.

how about dry cleaning...,etc

please any kind of help would be immensely appreciated

there got to be a way to remove dtg ink, i mean they EVENTUALLY come off or fade, which means there should be a way to speed the process

Try to put it on boiling water and melt the white underbase off?

I think that you're stuck with it.
You could try a hot iron and brown paper, rough side to print.
Get some underbase ink and overpaint it?
Try paint remover.
Write them off.

I'm afraid that there is no safe way of removing the water based ink that is used in digital garment printers. We did check a while back with the manufacturer we used for ink removal fluid for garment screen printers. The ink used in garment screen printing is plastisol (vinyl) ink so the spotting fluid used there will not work with the water based inks used by digital garment printers. The only fluid they thought would work is acetone. Acetone is HIGHLY flammable and its use should be totally avoided. So sorry, you won't be able to remove your spot.
