The process of printing onto a garment using a DTG printer is clearly explained in 5 easy steps : 1. Press the garment
2. Pre-treat
3. Press the pre-treated garment
4. Load onto your DTG printer and print
5. Press the finished garment
The initial set up time for the first shirt is around 9 minutes and after that you can expect to produce one garment every 3 minutes.
A fast, easy process that give great results time after time.

can a polyester garment be printed? does it need to be pre-treated? how about on non textile, will it be possible to print on it?

All white and some light coloured shirts can be directly printed to, all dark coloured fabrics need to be pretreated when using white ink.

Hi tcottarel
The printers sold by YESLTD in the UK come with white ink, the DTG software creates the white underbase automatically and photoshop is probably the best graphics software to create your printable images. My suggestion would be to come to our offices for a full demonstration and a member of the sales staff would be available to discuss what machine is best for your business.

ok. does the printer come with white ink? to print the white ink, do you just make the document the image is on have a transparent background, and put white wherever you want white to show up on the garment? is the printer compatible with photoshop? how much does the printer cost?

Hi tcottarel
The first 3 steps are necessary when you are printing with white ink to a dark coloured fabric, the pretreat process allows the white ink to bond and sit ontop of the garment, when printing a white t-shirt the CMYK ink can be printed direct to the tee without the need for the pretreat process.
Hope that helps
