Default Pre-treated tees

Does anyone know if pre-treated tees are available yet? I assume they will be, considering the trend with DTG printers.

I really doubt that they will ever be.

It's an extra expense, and wholesalers don't want to stock 2 versions of a shirt.

Before we started developing our SpeedTreater automatic pretreating machine we thought about selling pretreated shirts to our printer customers. But when we started doing the numbers, with the variations in colors, sizes, fronts, backs, sleeves, styles - it just did not make sense as a viable business model to stock blank pretreated goods. That is why we went ahead with the SpeedTreater because it made more economic sense for the individual shop to have their own automatic pretreatment machine on their own premises.
