I am just curious what kind of pretreat if any is needed to print on things other than clothing. I.e. Golf balls or wood products.
Also, how would you cure a golf ball?

You really need a solvent printer to get good results.

UV printers are the way to go.

Thanks, are y'all talking more about the golf balls, the wood or both?

 

[sandmanbjj]

Wow. Uv printers are a bit more costly than I would have thought. Is the learning curve significant? I already run a dtg printer.

This one is resonably priced - Home - Mankind Digital - UV LED Printer Technology

If you know DTG then the same maintance applies

Printing on wood works just fine with the Kornit. Don't know if other printers and their inks can do so, too. Printed a sample 6 or 8 weeks ago and left the piece outdoor since then. Under a roof, so no rain can reach it, but wind, sun, humidity, temperature... No prob! Print still looks good.

Thanks guys! I will check that link out.
Did you pretreat the wood with anything?

 

[Oberlandla]

Yes i did. With the original Kornit pretreatment.

Ok. Thanks for the info. I'm going to give it a shot

You can use a non textile pretreatment. It can be purchased through Colman and company. They also sell a post treatment as well.

T shirts are the bread winner in my income at the moment, but I have a few ideas that could be easy money makers.
