Cure the finished print according to the ink manufacturer's specifications. The amount to spray depends on the garment; confirm the current formulation-specific application guidance rather than applying one volume to every shirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- BA:USAGE:END --\u003e\n\u003c!-- BA:CARE:START --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHandling, Storage and Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore handling this professional printing supply, read the current product label and obtain the exact product's safety data sheet. Use its instructions for storage, ventilation, protective equipment, spill response and disposal; a general product description cannot establish those requirements. Keep the original identification and batch information with the container. If you dispense into another container, preserve the required identification and avoid confusing different maintenance fluids or formulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaintain a written record of the product used, the machine or application involved and the date of the procedure.
