FIREBIRD FBX Ghost™ UV-Resistant Pretreatment Formulation for White, Light and Medium Colored Garments

FBX Ghost is ideal for DTG printing onto a wide range of white, light and medium colored garments. It is formulated to be UV resistant, eliminating the risk of unsightly sun staining and yellowing, leaving behind a retail-ready garment with no-spay box:

  • Eliminates unsightly spray-boxes and sun yellowing risks.
  • Enables CMYK-only printing on white-cotton and 100% polyester blanks.
  • Ideal for White+CMYK printing on challenging Sport Grey, Neon Green, Sapphire and other Light/Medium-Colored garments.

Whether you are using OEM or FIREBIRD Inks, FBX Ghost is compatible with most DTG garment printers, including Brother, Epson, Ricoh and more.

Directions

  1. Spray between 15-40 grams (per 14x16 area), depending on the garment style and color. Check the FBX Ghost T-Shirt Matrix, to see our recommended spray-amount for popular garment styles.
  2. CONVEYOR CURE* until damp or dry to touch, at 300-250F for 40-60 seconds.
  3. Heat-press to fully dry and matte down fibers, at 315-350F for 10-15 seconds, with 40-70PSI pressure.

*If a conveyor oven is not available, air-dry for a minimum of 15 mins. Then heat-press at 300-350F, for 20-40 seconds, with 40-60PSI pressure (or until dry-to-touch). It is important to either conveyor-cure or air-dry to prevent from creating a glossy film visible on the sprayed area on the garment when only heat pressing.

DTG pretreatment praised for eliminating staining and boxing on light-colored garments. Customers said it produces "vibrant colors" and "clean prints" with no visible residue. Some noted a vinegar smell and higher price point. Works exceptionally well on comfort colors, sport gray, and tri-blends. "Best pretreat on the market" according to multiple shoppers.

I’ve been in the dtg game going on 6 years now

I’ve been in the dtg game going on 6 years now. I own two Ricoh printers and print 50-100 shirts a day. This pretreat is the best thing to come out since I’ve started. It allowed me to print comfor colors and Bella canvas again. 10 out of 10 reccoment. Not to mention everything firebird touches or sales.

So I bought this the other day and results are amazing

So I bought this the other day and I finally tried it last night but I didn't put ink on it yet to see how the image holds up but as far as staining it is unoticeable mind you I put it on a dark shirt not a light shirt to see how it would do and it came out amazing tomorrow I am going to apply white ink to the dark shirt that I applied this on to see if the white will still because I was watching a video and the guy put it on like a dark grey **** but something that was close to black not sure of the color but it was a very dark color and it came out amazing and he says he wasn't sure if it would work on a dark shirt because they are only for light shirt but it work very well now I just need to test the white ink on it when I test it I will write another review but so far the results are looking good tomorrow I will give you a photo to show you how the white ink holds up but other then that it's going good.

BOO!

Ghost is just one of many Firebird tools you need to have in your arsenal for the absolute brightest and most durable DTG prints in the market. For any lighter garments, or just certain brands that may leave more of a pretreat box, GHOST is your answer.

Ghost Pretreatment

Worked GREAT on Safety Yellow Tshirts! Firebird allows the color of the inks to really show up and pop! Won't ever go back to sub par pretreatment! My customers love it!

Strong vinegar smell

Only two negative things about this product:
1. Strong vinegar smell (got 2 customers left 3-star reviews due to the smell)
2. Pricy. Was $55/gallon now $59.
Even though it's doing a good job reducing stain box but not worth using due to the two above reasons unless at least one of them is improved. I'm still stuck with about 2.5 gallons with this and not planning to touch it again.

Ghost

Works well for all light colors. Have had some time to play with it and find what shade ranges work best and the quantites to add. Def a life saver for lighter colored tees that we want to print vibrant colors on.
