Method for printing white on dark textiles using screen-printers and inkjet printers

摘要

A method for printing light colors on dark substrates such as black textiles is disclosed. The method includes screen printing a pre-treatment onto a textile, inkjet printing an underbase on the textile, inkjet printing an image over the underbase, and counting and displaying the number of printings of the underbase and image. In the preferred embodiment, a pre-treatment is screen printed onto a black t-shirt, then a white, opaque underbase is inkjet printed onto the black t-shirt, and finally a white image is inkjet printed over the white underbase. In alternative embodiments, a white image is inkjet printed directly on the black t-shirt without any underbase or is inkjet printed over a screen printed underbase.
