We just got the Ricoh ri2000!!! Having fun but learning and fixing struggles… Pretreatment has been our biggest battle!! When you treat as you go,what are your press settings to get out completely dry? Suggestions for helping paper wrinkles from the cover page. We have continually collected a lot of moisture in the cracks of the heat press that build up on the sides of the shirt. We tried to hang dry and just prepress before print, but it seems to not dry very even or something and prints are semi dull

You might be using too much pre-treatment on your garments, try these steps and congrats on taking this big step! 1. Lay a protective sheet paper onto your fabric so that the sprayed area won’t come in direct contact with the hot surface. This type of paper gives best uniformity in drying and enables better evaporation of volatiles. These sheets should only be used once per garment and then should be disposed. This avoids build-up of residue on the sheets which can lead to staining or discoloration. 2. Proceed to press the fabric in the temperature and time that is suggested to each corresponding liquid. Use a high pressure setting, so the fibers of the garment could be laid down. 3. If the fabric is still wet, re-press it for a few more seconds until it is dry. This means you have either applied too much pretreatment or your heat press in not properly removing the excess moisture.

thanks for sharing!

get an auto pretreater. don't start with the prehistoric gun method. Trust me we've printed well over 100k shirts and it's better to start with an auto pretreater. There are several out there, just do some research. For somone that has over 80k subscribers, I'm surprised Ricoma Embroidery Machines is using a handheld manual sprayer pretreater. Get the learning curve out of the way while you're just beginning, so when you do big orders of 100-500 shirt orders you will be more experienced and a pro at pretreating. Pretreat is the foundation in DTG printing. Not all pretreats are equal, just like not all shirts are equal. It will take time and research to find what works best.

If your a small shop then a gun might make sense vs spending a few thousand on a pretreat machine. But if your serious about DTG and plan to grow your business & produce shirts then a pretreater is the next step.

Pre-Treament reffers to a spray that is applied to the garment before you print on it. It acts like a primer to help the ink stick to the garment. Without it, the ink will not stick to the garment, and just wash off.

On the other hand, having a backlog of pre-treated shirts might just mean your printer is way too slow.
