Spot Removal for Screen Printers

When screen printing t-shirts, the goal is to get the design to adhere to the shirt without problems. However, this is not always the case and screen printers need to have a number of tools at their disposal to remove spots of all kinds.

The first thing to check is what type of fabric you need to treat and then select a spot remover or pre-spotter that works well with that type of fabric. Apply the spot remover to the fabric in the desired area according to the directions on the product bottle.

Spot Removal Tips

Next time you grab spot remover out of your t-shirt printing supplies, use these expert tips for successful spot removal:

• After treating the stain with pre-spotter or spot removal solution, use a shop vac to lift both the stain and the solution from the fabric
• When treating the spot or stain, place an old cloth or wax paper behind the fabric to protect your surface or the other side of the garment from bleeding through
• Always have a wide variety of spot removers on hand. Since each type of spot remover functions differently to remove different types of stains, you want to have one of everything in your arsenal. You never know what you're going to need until you need it and the last thing you want is to have a spot or stain that you need a specific solution for that you don't have.
