Humm, I don't know if it's the video, but, doesn't the pretreatment look uneven? | |  | |  | |
I agree, two nozzles spraying, heavy at both ends, creating two paths.

I think that $1500 would be palatable to most folks, maybe even $2000, but above that is really starting to push the cost/benefit barrier. | | | | | | |
I also agree with Don.
~ ugh, I can’t believe I just said that.......

1. How long does it take for you (or an employee) to pretreat a shirt the manual way versus using a machine? Better yet, can someone else even do the process of pretreating a shirt correctly? | | | | | | |
I would accept a longer time for the process, if I get consistency from the machine. I also want “anybody” to be able to use the machine. Not just the employee who “has that touch”. You know, the guy who’s out sick today.... So it needs to have a short learning curve.

2. How much space do you have in your shop? Do you have enough room to pretreat shirts safely away from the printer or do you have to go outside to do it? | | | | | | |
Exactly, not something I want to try to do in 110-122 degrees in Arizona.
Or during the Monsoons we get every year. The system also needs to be portable for different venues.

3. How many shirts (probably have to do # out of 100) are not pretreated enough or done improperly and you don't know until after you print on it? | | | | | | |
Again, as you said repeatable consistency is king!
Again, I don’t want, nor will I have the option at venues, to do this outside. So I would also need the longest and widest platen possible for all over prints.
Just my two pesos,
Don
