Pretreatment To Garments
For PFD Prepared for dyeing

Plain white garments

To give certain value addition to garments

PE/C - Carbonization - Light weight PE - Alkali - Silk like effect Printing of garments to provide white base

Importance
Garments processing is widely growing

Maximum profit in short interval

Fast supply of demands Garments processing is most widely used in Denims

Different looks, finishing and designs could be made

on the apparel Minimized damage risk Scope for modification of Garments

Precautions In Garment Processing

Some of the surface effects of the fabrics visually

influence the depth and hue of the dyed garments Residual hydrogen peroxide in the bleached materials can interfere with dyes and spoil the colour values. Uneven finish applications, curing conditions in the fabric state, prior to garmenting, results in panel to panel shade variation in the garment dyeing process Processing problems related to the garment size control and appearance normally result from variations in yarn size /twist, ends/inch, picks/inch or courses/inch in the knitted fabrics

Pretreatment a step in the white direction

Application of print on Dark t-shirts using a

pretreatment on garment (Direct to Garment Printer) First the fabric is pretreated with a Primer dried, cured and then printing the garment with White ink Pretreatment can be given in 2 ways either manually or by mean of pretreatment machines
