I have looked at a lot of different threads and couldn't find anything of where you buy polyester pretreatment. I would appreciate some links or suppliers. I have been doing DTG for years and apparently have been living in a cave. I have never heard of it until I stumbled across a few threads on the site. Thanks in advance.

You also got to know that its not just the pretreatment that needs to work with polyester but also the inks. It also depends on what dtg your using. Not all inks are compatible with your printer.

Ok, then I would guess it wasn't your standard T jet Fast ink. Do you want to elaborate what is necessary?

You might want to check out Kornit. I think they have or are going to have the ability to do polyester. But the supplies won't be compatible with your t-jet.

I see www.colmanandcompany.com has a polyester pre-treatment. I have not tried it as of yet, but would be interested to hear from those that did...

I looked, I couldn't find it on their website so you must have to call I assume?

This may help, there is a polyester pre treat in development right now.

So far its proved to be brilliant and works for most polyester fabric including sports shirts and flags etc.

Whilst not currently available it should only be a few weeks longer in trials.

Wow. That would be really cool. Keep us updated!!
