I KNEW IT!!!! Kittens are always a hit....

Seriously, June 1st is the launch. And we'll have it in Indy at the B.I.G. show for samples for people to try.... (not kittens....)

Kittens don't interest me...........lol

But money does and any IA product means more MONEY.............

Can't wait Brian

I really hope so. Brother is doing a disservice to its users by not actively working on a pretreatment able to print on Poly blends garment. I have turned down so much work because a lot of customers complaint about the shrinkage of 100% cotton. No matter what brand. Print comes out beautiful but after a wash or two the shirt shrinks up to three inches. Customers ask for 50/50's and it is impossible to print dark garment with Brother's white ink. I always suggest the customer to go a size larger for 100% cotton to make up for the shrinkage issue. If anyone knows of any pre-treatment that works with Brother's white ink let me know. Image Armour at this time doesn't have the ability to do that.

PS> Brother Intn'l Industries, if you are reading this... pay attention!

A heads up, no one is doing dark polyesters, or doing it well at the moment. It is an ink/pretreatment issue - synthetic fibers are not our friend in the printing world (at least on BLACK and dark polyesters).

White polyester is a breeze with IA LIGHT. It looks like sublimation. But, this is about something different........

Pretreat to prevent white ink dye migration on red cotton?
A no need to press pretreatment prior to printing? (nah)
Killer Bloody Mary mix?

So, what is the todays news?

Brother, Epson, and in line white/cmyk printing that needs faster gelling of white ink....see imagearmorpt.com.

i knew it ! what did i win ?

There is no mention of what type of fabric it works. Poly blends? 100% poly? or just cotton.

Best suited for 100% cotton

Image Armor Light. Is there a Canadian distributor for this product?

Thx.

So if Image Armor Light is used white 50/50 fabric, how does the finished print compare to 100% cotton based on color and washability?

Currently we don't have an official Canadian distributor....... Yet.

iA Light on 50/50 is great with wash ability as it is on 100% poly or 100%cotton.

Everyone at the Indy show this part week couldn't believe the difference (even some of the printer manufacturers........).

There is a reason to PT every shirt, even white....... It just makes it look so much better.
