DTG Printing, What Should You Know In Advance?
Because of the high quality and convenience, DTG (Direc-to-Garment) printing becomes more and more popular nowadays. But before you start your first step in this line, you’d better know some problems.
1.Do you need pre-treat shirts in advance?
Generally we suggest pre-treat the t-shirt in advance. We recommend 3 weeks but have actually had shirts pretreated for months and still gotten good results. The hardest part is keeping pretreated shirts clean and dust free until you need them.
2. Can it print on the blend cotton/poly blends (70/30) ?
Yes, of course. But you should avoid printing on any clothing with odor blockers or any kind of stain resistant technology though. We use water based inks and those are made to repel water!
3. If there is a wrinkle in the t-shirt when printing, what will happened?
The wrinkle will be still in the t-shirt after printing. So remember pay attention to the t-shirt before printing.
If you never use the printer, the heads will eventually clog. But the WIMS and good maintenance make this very rare.
5. What RIP software should the DTG printer use?
Use RipPro C6. It comes with the new DTG printers and is made specifically for them.
6. Would you ever need to pretreat a light color shirt?
We recommend that you do pretreat light garments. That way, you’ll get better color fastness, croc fastness and the image will wash better and last longer.
7. What will influence the quality of you DTG garments?
A. The quality of the garment
B. How well you pretreated it
C. How you wash it
8. How long can the machine sit without running?
If you want to leave it for more than a few days then we suggest a system flush. Then you can leave it for as long as you’d like.
9. What material do you have to pretreat?
We pretreat everything except for some wood products.
10. How long and cost for pre-treatment per shirt?
Pretreatment takes under a minute. Cost is negligible.
DTG printing is not a hard work, though you need to invest a lot at first. But if you pay more attention to it, you will earn more.
