Default Re: DTG Examples Please
Hi all !

When we print with THE KIOSK at what stage of workflow do we have to use heat press? Or maybe there is no need to use it?

You heat press the t-shirt after it has been finished printing in the DTG.

Optional: Heat pressing the t-shirt before loading so the fibres are nice and flat.

Optional 2: Heat Press after pre-treating for dark colored prints

About Option #2 - should you heat press after pre-treating for darks and before printing them?

We pick up our first DTG Kiosk Saturday...new to us, but 8 month old printer.

Nancy I would strongly suggest that you take an intro class for the Kiosk, Don from the forums could give you more info on this.

Ok, thanks! We are getting a hands on demonstration when we pick it up, but I know it won't be as thorough as a class...

just tell them to walk you through some maintenance and pre-treatment, I am sure they will be happy to because this will save them and you problems in the future.
