I love and have watched all your videos as i have just purchased the brother GTX pro DTG printer and have alot to learn. Do you have ant videos on printing and pretreating sweatshirts and hoodies? I cant seem to find anything really on these garments and nothing on spec sheet for firebird pretreatment?

Since you have a dryer running, it looks like a no brainer to use it. I recently picked up a pneumatic heat press and had to lower my pressure depending on platen size, because I was pressing the polysol ink into the shirt and loosing brightness. Thanks for the video

Hello Sir, I want to save you time and effort in editing your video and help you grow your channel. I edited 1 demo for you. Do you want to see if you like it?

The viper MAXX should be measured in a 14x14 square to get to your accurate grams ratio. This can be calculated by hand as well using a fence painter if that is how you still need to measure that way. It’s ok to name drop the most excellent machines you use my man……..
@breakthroughclothing 2 ай бұрын
The reason why we use 14x16 is because we have so much data going back to when we had the Shulze and did a 16" length. Its easy for me to know quickly the amounts and adjustments. I will say that each of my machines has a different step number to achieve an even spray so I keep that in mind to confirm my spray area is what i want it to be. But you cant beat the open system and stack ability feature if you fast. Can we maybe get a drain hole lol

How does Ghost pretreat compare to Image Armour Titanium?
@breakthroughclothing 3 ай бұрын
I have not personal purchased Titanium to compare and test, only watched videos that they have posted. So at this moment I can't really say anything about it, I just know what our ghost can do, and you can see from our uncut video and print settings our vibrancy and print settings with the GTX. IF we do test we will let you know. Thanks for watching.

What brand of machine do you use for pretreatment? Thanks.
@breakthroughclothing 3 ай бұрын
We currently use the ViperMaxxx, this is mainly because with the amount of work, using a dryer sprayer is to much stress on our shoulders so we want an open air system. We have had other Vipers, Shulze, Wagner, Polyprint, Pearl all to test.

What are your oven settings?
@breakthroughclothing 3 ай бұрын
For the ink curing our settings are 340F for 3:20 seconds. This gets our ink to 330F for at least 30 seconds which is what I want.

What’s the drying time and temp for the PT?
@breakthroughclothing 5 ай бұрын
@@Styln with our chiossi we are at 250F for 1:30 but there is a lot of forced air, if your using a IR dryer like Vastex I’d recommend going higher. With our old Vastex 3d we were closer to 500-500f for 1:15 seconds 4 height. With IR dryers they vary so much I’d get a temp gun and see what the PT area is getting up to. I’d recommend above 300f.
@breakthroughclothing 5 ай бұрын
@@Styln than for the Heat press I recommend no less than 300f, regular cotton shirts I’m 320-300, but blends and dyed I’m closer 300. The PT likes be to very dry. Pressure wise I’m normally 70psi(med-high) for blends 30-40psi. Unlike other PT it doesn’t need to be damp to lay flat. It’s very flexible with soft hand feel.

@breakthroughclothing I've never understood what determines how much PT to apply to garments. I remember a tech explaining it's based on garment weight. But, is it really and if so, how do we figure it out? A video explaining this would be FANTASTIC to see. Thank you!
@bisket2003 5 ай бұрын
@@websurfer2344 its dependant on the color and weight of the tee as well. Each PT solution has a baseline starting point of grams, and then you can adjust from there to lock it in. You want to apply the least amount needed to get the most optimal white. Performing a step test will help you determine that if you want to get really exact.
@websurfer2344 6 ай бұрын
Gerald, fantastic content! Thank you. I'm just wondering, what is your thought process when choosing how much in pre treat????? Would really appreciate your explanation.
@breakthroughclothing 6 ай бұрын
It varies based on color and fabric material. Understanding what dyes have a bigger impact such as a red or pink dye can cause more dye migration than a yellow or blue. to be honest some of it is just experience over the last 15 years and seeing how different colors reacted with the same amount of pretreat.

hey, I really enjoyed the video, it's nice to see what the processes are like in other companies. Out of curiosity, what temperature must the ink reach in the dryer to polymerize well and have extreme resistance to washing? thank you so much 😄
@breakthroughclothing 6 ай бұрын
With the inks we use we like to get to 330F for minimum 30 seconds for optimum washing. With that being said also understanding that if the image is 15CC of ink it will need more energy to reach those temperatures so we may need to increase our system to reach that, and the same for vice versa.

How about a gildan safety green work shirt 50-50 blend?
@breakthroughclothing 7 ай бұрын
A Gildan is definitely harder to do as it is a looser weave and heavier shirt so more dyes on the shirt. Having the GTX in the shop its harder because we are not able to flash the white in between like Polaris or ROQ. But overall I wouldn't recommend the Gildan or the jerzees 50/50 just simply because of the dye migration as in screen printing your able to use a dye blocker but for DTG your not able to so I would stick with a slighter tighter weave shirt as for now until a Ghost version 2 even better with dye blocking.

Also can you provide the highlight and mask settings when you are printing a CMYK + WHITE on a white shirt?
@breakthroughclothing 7 ай бұрын
My personal settings if there is visible white would be (2 or 3) highlight 1 mask with contrast upped to around 15 to help darken the colors since GTX graphics lab doesn't profile for white shirts.

How are the prints looking after washing. Is there much fading on the CVC tees?
@breakthroughclothing 8 ай бұрын
No, I have shirts I wear for work that have over 15 washed and look completely passable. I will say that a lot with wash fastness will be because of the curing of the ink. Because ghost doesn’t drain you can not worry about curing your shirts at the correct time or temps. The red color did dye migrate, and neon yellow needed more ink because of dye migration
