It all depends on the garment, how much of the shirt you are spraying and the pretreater. It’s like asking how many miles you can get with 100 gallons of gas.... some are economical some aren’t. Light shirts = less dark = more, thin shirt = less thicker shirt = more hoodie = even more, youth shirt, 3xl, left chest, half chest, full shirt, one sided or double, also some PT machines have a lot of waste, I hear some as much as a gall per 3 used and as low as no waste . I know this doesn’t really help but it really is an open ended question

The 20 liter carton Epson pretreatment is a concentrate which is normally mixed 1 to 1 with distilled water - giving you 40 liters (about 10 1/2 gallons) of pretreat.

As AliAs posted, it's very hard to give you any type of shirt number since there are so many factors involved. Sweatshirts will need more pretreat then t-shirts. Some t-shirt brands need almost double the amount as other brands. Spray area is a factor. And one very big factor is how you are applying the pretreat. Roller method is the worst and most wasteful amount wise. A hand power sprayer can use 3 times more pretreat then an automatic pretreater for the same job.
