Embodiments relate generally to methods and systems for bleaching textiles using ozone gas that incorporates a color removal step. In one example, there is provided a hybrid machine that incorporates certain features of a washer, but that also includes an integrated blower for gas distribution inside the machine. There is also provided an ozone dosing control system that allows for maintenance of a constant concentration of ozone in the machine. In one embodiment, the ozone output measured in grams/hour at this constant concentration in conjunction with the weight of product measured being treated may be referred to as the bleaching factor. There is further provided a wastewater dye removal step, in which ozone is used to clean the water and remove dyes and other colors that may be deposited via denim or other garments.

The described systems and methods of direct-to-garment printing (DTG) allow for DTG printing for garments which achieves high definition and good color saturation, such as in dark color garments. The disclosed systems and methods include a pre-treatment solution to immobilize the ink used on the garments for DTG printing and to reduce nearly eliminate ink absorption by the fabric (i.e., by reducing surface availability of polyvalent salt to contact). The disclosed invention also includes a pre-treatment solution including at least one of a polyvalent salt, amorphous nanoparticles, a solid dispersive diluent, a stabilizer solution, a booster, and a tension activator.
