Why? Way too much money for ease of use. I will still pre-treat with the Wagner until costs come WAAAYYY down. As a side note, we made a real nice spray booth that virually eliminates any overspray problems. Didn't cost a lot but keeps our shoes from sticking to the floor .

I believe that is to generic of a response. I agree if you are selling shirts at low margin, and low volume that statement may be true for some. However, if you are doing 1,000 shirts a week, or you are getting premium retail dollars for your shirts then the statement does not apply. Even at just medium volume of 300 shirts per week, that is about .25 per shirt over a year. If you amortize it over 3 years, then it is just .08 cents a shirt. For me, that is incredibly cheap.

This, like most things in life, is not a one size fits all. However, if any of you wish to volunteer to properly spray pretreat my shirts for $.08 a piece, I have a position open at my shop.

From Printzilla's post you can sort of work out the pricing from his numbers.

You are hired!! When can you be in TN?

You get no days off, no health benefits, no vacation, sick, or personal time.

Heck, I will even be generous and offer you a 10% raise to $0.11 per properly treated garment.

I don't want to break the forum self-promotion rule, but, since we've been asked, the introductory price of the SpeedTreater Automatic Pretreatment System is $3,995.

A pretreatment machine automatically sprays pretreatment onto a garment. Pretreatment is what makes white ink stick to the top of dark garments. Currently most people use a Wagner Control Spray paint sprayer or a similar device to spray pretreatment onto garments by hand.

When switching between the light and dark pretreatment do you have to purge the lines first as not to dispense the wrong pretreat for at least the first change over shirt? or is there two seperate nozzle sets for each fluid?

The SpeedTreater has three containers. Two are filled with pretreatments and one is filled with water. To switch between pretreatments, simply run one cycle of water in between. The switchover should take under a minute.
