I just saw this video on YouTube of a new pretreatment machine for
dtg printers from Equipment Zone -
YouTube - SpeedTreater
Looks pretty simple and quick. I made a quick call into Equipment Zone (
Equipment Zone - The Screen Printing and Digital Printing Equipment Source) and got to speak to Harry who posts helpful things on this forum all the time. This pretreatment is the first one that I know is actually shipping now (not in the standard "two weeks"). It has three containers on the back of it to hold two different types of pretreatment and one for water to clean the system. If you look at the platen, you will see a ruler that will allow you to ajust the Y-axis of where the pretreatment will be sprayed as well. From what Harry said, it is pretty quiet and only makes noise when it is spraying or the built-in air compressor is recharging. It runs off of 110 Volts of electricity.
Sad to say that I forgot to ask the 2nd most important questions (i.e. What is the price). Maybe Harry can post this answer here and if I missed any other things about it. But the most important question is that he has them ready to ship. That is good news for the white ink
dtg owners that have been asking for one of these machines for a long time.
Contact Harry if you have additional questions.
