Experience using Brother GTX with some GTX and Hoodie printing tips

[@07Review]

Hi brother, amazing video, I have a question, I have to travel and turn the machine of for 3 weeks, unfortunately no one can do the weekly cleaning, so what is the best option to turn off completely the machine for 3 weeks? Thanks

Hello sir, I have problems with correct pretreatment, for black tshirts what speed and pressure you set for pretreatmaker iv? Thank you very much.

[@amedionteo]

Hi we dont use pretreatmaker so have no idea. What ratio u mixing now with water? What brand pretreatment?

So I purchased a used GTX and it has sat in my garage for 6 months. its completely empty with no ink. I went to plug it in and it will not power on. The temperature in my garage is maybe 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Can you help me with this problem, and where can I get a new usb card to install on the unit. Mine is damaged.

Great real world reView !!!

Have you tried replacement inks? Do you always use chips to fill your GTX PRO BULK machine?

[@amedionteo]

Yes cause its provided.

[@JanWydro-x2g]

@@amedionteo Have you tried an undamaged chip?

[@amedionteo]

@@JanWydro-x2g what u mean by that? Chip provided is usable. If damaged can exchange.

[@JanWydro-x2g]

You don't have to use it, you can raise the ink level manually in the machine.

[@JanWydro-x2g]

Why don't you want to use replacement inks?

Im not getting any white to print. No white on test print. We did all cleaning of the parts. We did super clean. We did white ink circulation. Nothing.... any tips?

[@amedionteo]

Check if your pouch put in correctly with the gold stripe rolling it up nice and tight.

I had the same problem and I called a technician y told me to reduce that problem I had to enclose the underneath and I add a dehumidifier and in my case the temperature it was an issue as well so I added a little heather under there too and that stop the issue

[@amedionteo]

Yeah if humidity and temperature out of range then it will run more frequent.

[@Abdulrahimabuaker]

Hi . Where do I get one, and what is the price for it ?

[@amedionteo]

What item u referring to?

[@rhubartyoung438]

Hello Idol can you share us your print setting for white and colored shirt.. settings of your Highlights and Mask saturation, Brightness, Contrast and cmyk for better resolution and detaild in printing.. thanks in advanced Idol!!

[@amedionteo]

I set Highlight at 5 and Mask 3 for all t-shirts. For thicker materials I increase highlight to 6. Thats' all. Other settings don't touch.

[@kristiangonzalez6459]

Where do you buy the inks

[@amedionteo]

From Brother of course. ;)

[@hamizishah3177]

Hi, I'm also have that machine, did you always on that machine everyday? Sometimes I not using it on 2 weeks but I'm always running it for white ink circulation everyday, but I noticed my white ink decrease. It's seem wasted for me, eventhough I'm not using it... Any suggestions for saving white ink

[@amedionteo]

No we don't switch it off cause we use them everyday. If you're not printing volume then this machine not suitable for you. It will run cleaning every 6hrs. Best is to switch it off if you're not using then but not for too long.

What brand pretreatment did you use for the sweatshirts?

[@amedionteo]

We're using third party pretreatment by Onetextiles.

[@FidelElvira]

@@amedionteo do you think they sell it in USA? And what is the name of the pretreatment

[@amedionteo]

Nope don't think so. Got one company selling similar product. You can search for DTG Connection.

[@FidelElvira]

@@amedionteo Thank you!

[@myronwafu3369]

For 50/50 hoodies what temperature fo you use to cure the ink? Also how long do you hover?

[@amedionteo]

We dry the PT for a little over a minute with 160-170celcius.. Curing for 160celcius on 60s.. Depends on design and color of the hoodie. If red hoodie definitely need hovering.
