Image Lock Concentrate DTG Pre-Treatment Solution

Lawson Image Lock Concentrate is a concentrated direct-to-garment (DTG) pre-treatment solution designed for dark cotton garments, offering minimal staining, soft hand feel, excellent wash fastness, and vibrant color brilliance. It has wide application parameters and should be diluted 1:1 with distilled water for optimal use.

This universal pre-treatment solution is compatible with automatic sprayers, such as the Lawson Zoom-AE or Zoom-XL, or can be applied manually with a Wagner spray gun, mist sprayer, pump sprayer, airbrush, or garden sprayer.

Application Instructions: Apply an even coat of diluted Image Lock to the print area, avoiding over-saturation. Dry the garment using a conveyor dryer, such as the Lawson Frontier, Digi-Star, or Omega System 3, or a heat transfer press.

Drying with Heat Transfer Press: When using a heat transfer press, avoid Teflon sheets or silicone-treated parchment paper. Use plain parchment paper, lower the press gently onto the garment, and press at 330°F for 10 seconds. Remove the paper and press for an additional 10–15 seconds with heavy pressure.

Curing a Finished DTG Print: Cure printed garments at 330°F (165°C) for 90–180 seconds, depending on shirt color, using a heat transfer press with medium to heavy pressure. Use silicone-treated parchment paper, heat transfer paper, or a Teflon sheet for glossy prints.

Application Notes: Over-application may cause staining and lead to flaking or peeling during washing. Lighter-colored garments require less pre-treatment than darker colors like black or navy. Garments can be pre-treated in batches before printing. Test curing methods before production, as these are suggested guidelines.

Warning: This pre-treatment triggers a chemical reaction with white ink. Ensure the print head does not contact the pre-treated garment to prevent permanent clogging. Always verify print head and garment clearance before printing.

Storage: Store in a tightly capped container in a cool area (50–100°F or 10–38°C).

Washability: Wash garments inside out in cold water using a delicate dryer setting.
