Before buying a commercial printerThere is a learning curve to DTG, DTF, UV printing (much like screen printing or other printing forms). Becoming proficient and knowledgeable about this new craft takes time and experimentation.Proper Pretreatment is necessary, especially for printing with white ink to dark garments (separate pre-treatment hand sprayer or automatic sprayer are needed, as well as a heat press)Additional items that you will need
- Windows 10 or higher Computer (PC) with an available USB port. Artwork design software like Gimp, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW.
- RIP Software (if not already included in your purchase) and RIP software training or support. We do not support RIP software, we only can share what other users are having success with.
- Heat press for curing the pretreatment and final print.
- Wagner Hand Sprayer or Automatic pretreat machine is used to apply pretreatment, which is required for printing with white ink to dark garments.
- If your room/environment has low humidity, you should install a humidifier to keep the humidity above 40% in the print room.
- Provide a clean and climate-friendly workspace in which to print.
- Humidity of 40%—70% and temperatures of 70 – 75 degrees Fahrenheit must be maintained at all times while ink is installed in the printer. Failure to maintain these tolerances may cause clogging and other issues that will then require extensive cleaning measures.
- You understand that inks are water-based textile inks and will clog the Printheads if the machine is left unused for more than 1-2 days (and the humidity/temperature climate is not optimal). Clogging is nothing to be scared of, if it occurs, you can resolve the clogs via several simple procedures (such as utilizing the cleaning function on the printer, or for a more advanced clean, you could flush the printheads manually).
- Use DTG , UV, DTF printer approved inks, supplies, and equipment to achieve results claimed.
- Retain shipping crate or original packaging for 30-90 days until no longer needed.
