However, when recycled bottles are not high enough quality to transform into new bottles or packaging, rPET can be washed, heated, and stretched into fiber to create polyester yarn and fabric. You can create a multitude of items from polyester, such as clothing, shoes, luggage, carpet, seat belts, and even bungee harnesses.

Certain things cannot be controlled by the printer: • The dye in the shirt • The humidity in the air and shirt Things that can be controlled are: • The type of ink – cotton white for cotton, non-ghosting bleed resistant for polyester • The amount of heat used on the garment—cure at the recommended temp, not over • Stack in separate piles to allow cooling—fold in dozens separately, wait to pack Be aware of at-risk colors; brown, tan and beige are the most sensitive to possible ghosting.

ColorMatrix™ Optica™ Global PRT Toner Dispersions Handling and Usage ColorMatrix Optica Global PRT Red and Blue dispersion toners are intended for use primarily in PET bottle polymer production processes and, although they are suitable for all polyester manufacturing processes, are used successfully throughout the world on all types of PET production technologies.
