What kind of cart is that under the heat press? Kickass!

Why there’s so many options for pretreatment? I just need what’s best for F2100 epson

[@AAPrintSupplyCo]

Hey there! We try to be unbiased with what we offer and give all available options. The top performers in this testing for Epson DTG were: Teetreat, Epson concentrate diluted and Firebird gen 2.5

your color chart looks way perfect. can you please explain how you avoided that white bubling or fibres sticking out ? i use NEXT LEVEL 3600 and they were never close to results you had on your sample shirts.

[@AAPrintSupplyCo]

Hello, At 4:41 we go over the steps we use to dry the pretreat: light pressure, long hover and dried in 30 second intervals. As far as the print quality, I have to give credit to the Kothari NeoRIP software. That's how we get the best prints possible with the Epson DTG. Drop me an email for more information to [e-mail]

Would you say you can achieve the same results with a forced air conveyor belt?

[@AAPrintSupplyCo]

Hello, We would still advise a quick prepress before pretreating to lay the fibers down but drying wise should be fine either way

i tried 22 26 30 and 36 grams @ 350F(30 seconds) on gildan 2000 and NL3600 @ 0/1 PSI but it still felt like cardboard. in my experience 325F@ 40sec and maybe a second press did a decent job and fabric feels way better than it did with the curing @ 350... i cover the upper heating platen with a Teflon sheet and its almost 3 years old. do you think that old sheet is affecting in any way ?

how many grams for mister leverl 26 ?

[@TheMoodyedge]

Great sound.

[@AAPrintSupplyCo]

Hello, thank you for the kind words - have a great day!

[@deanbiscan9979]

Seems a bit excessive on the PT, no? It's literally dripping off the shirt.

[@AAPrintSupplyCo]

Hello, The setting used may have been in excess for some of the solutions but the goal was to have a even measuring stick to compare all the prints to objectively - same settings across the board with everything.

[@jonathanw.6266]

the problem was the bi-directional application. that put down double the amount of PT. only use that for high % poly blend

[@joelallen770]

@@jonathanw.6266 No it doesn't. It cuts it in half.

[@jonathanw.6266]

@@joelallen770 if you do a gram weight test it lays down the same amount in both directions. So if you have 10g uni then you have 20g bi
