DTG Pretreatment Process and How to avoid getting bad result 

FYI, the 1:1.5 mix ratio is for Brother GTX Dark pretreatment. 😊

Thank you for the detailed video! I am working with an older Brother printer, and had no formal training on it. I can see now that I have never put enough pretreat on it. And I have never paid attention to the fibers lying down in the same direction before. Very helpful!

Amazing video, just subscribed.

Thanks for your informations, I sorted out my problem ...It was to much pretreatment as..Now shirts last for now 20 washes with no deterioration at all...Prints looks as new...What a relief.... Best regards

I LIKE THE FACT THAT YOU ARE GOOD IN ENGLISH BROTHER

Great work! thank you for providing useful information. please keep posting more videos in the future about the GTX PRO.

love your AC Milan Shirt

This is awesome. Thank you so much for the wonderful info. Love it🌺🌺💐🌸

More videos my man... lets go! Also show us what brand of shirts and hoodies are the best..

Excellent video! Thank you.

All 100% genuine merchandise I presume.

Hola muy bueno tu video. Me gustaría mostrarte una foto de la dificultad que tengo con las impresiones. A ver que consejo me podes dar

thank you so Mach

It should also be mentioned that ditching the hand sprayer is first and foremost an excellent way to get better results. Invest in a machine!

Important question about a very common issue: how to avoid black boxes on the garment due to pretreatment?

Why you don't use conveyor dryer?

Hi my brother can you do a video with printing settings please? for example for hoodies, dark shirts light colour shirts and so on! love the content !

Thanks for the video, very informative

Hi, thanks for this video ,it is appreciated.. Could you tell me step by step how to cure pretreat properly? First of all, what is the time and temperature of curing and at what pressure for dark and light color shirts that you use..Then how do you get thick prints like you show on your video..thats what I am looking for... How many washes your prints last?...I was dealing screen printed shirts and I try today dtg to get as close as screen print but it is very hard to figure it out.. Thanks again for your tips

I'm having the same issue as you at 14:03 very noticeable when printing red ink. I am at a lost of what to adjust. Printing on Bella Canvas 52% Cotton 48% Poly. We are very new to the DTG world so any help is much appreciated.

Hello.. Thanks for the information you provide I just bought a Brother printer and have a question about pretreatment. I am using Brother pre-treatment. I printed on a white T-shirt without treatment, but the colors started to fade with the first wash. Do I use the same type of pre-treatment for colored and white T-shirts? The other question is, is it possible to pre-treat the T-shirts and print them at another time, after a few days? How long can I keep without printing after pre-treatment?

amigo , esa impresora da muito problema pra limpar,//????? eu vi no outro video q e muito complicado , entao estou pensando escoloher entre epson f2100 , e brother pro

Thanks for your answer, I am testing again, I do 10 second press at 180° to flatten fiber then pretreat around 30g of pretreatment then cure for 35s and cure and cure again around 10s till dry then print and hoover 45s(it helps a lot for vibrancy to stay) and press 90s..So far no square box on shirts.. Do you know how many grams approx of pretreat you use on shirts with your pretreat machine on 30cmx40cm design area(wich sounds to be a standard way to mesure pretreat on the web)? Thanks again for your time answering questions..I hope business is going well for you...Where I live everything is slowed down nd business down for everybody selling fashion clothes.. Best regards, Lilian

Do you know what happen if spray too much pretreatment?

Are you making good money using the DTG printer? and...Is it too expensive the maintenance?

did you ever test Firebird pretreatment? A lot of good reviews with it also with printing with Brother printers

Thanks a lot for your kind reply, i am using the exact same as you do...those are my best settings as well..do you know how many washes your prints last ? Mine are lasting 6 washes and they start peeling a little bit, to wash off a lot after 10 washes..the colors remain great but some parts starts to peel off after 3 to 6 washes..did you try wash test for at least 10 or more wash? Best regards Lilian

I seem to have cristalization problem, i need at least H:8 M:3-4 to make white look good, if I add more water it would be better? You say hovering helps with crystalizations, you mean after pretreat before actual print? For how long would you hover in this case? Or should I do multiple presses like 3x20? Not sure what else could it be

What mask and highlight are you using? I find that I have to vary it quite a bit depending on the print. For many color prints, I use highlight 4, mask 1. But if the print has large white areas, I sometimes have to use much higher to get a good opaque white (as much as highlight 9, mask 3). Prints that have some of both are pretty challenging. I have considered breaking them into two separate prints so that I could use different settings, but time consuming to print.

Very bad haircut but awesome job on the video. Do you also have DTF or will you get one?

I have problems, There are 5% from my customers feedback that color came out after washed. So I don't know which step I did it wrong or have to focus on it.

Can you do a video on how to print on hoodies without lowering the platen very low and losing quality in the print. I am having trouble keeping the quality of the print once I print on a hoodie. How much pretreat should go down on a hoodie.

Hi Bro, May I know what kind of colour do we need to pretreatment? And which colour do we need to be more double check before we print

Any tips on pre treatment coming out unevenly? Spraying more towards the middle of the shirt and less on the sides? I’ve just replaced the nozzle and filters but still getting the same results

and another thing, can i use the same pre-treatment procedure to white shirt?TY!

Hi, I always get bad printing result at the time 8.29 on your video...i already put enough pretreatment, normal setting (not eco mode)for printing.. But printing still like "fungus or berkulat"..it happens a lot when my artwork is fully from vector or from adobe illustrator... But when my artwork from photoshop, it result printing is fine...

I'm using 1:2 mix ratio. it is advisable or i need to use 1:1.5? TY!

What happens if you don’t apply pretreat to white shirts

Thanks guys! Nice Video :-)

hello, for a3 full printing, how to measure the weight of treatment ? what your suggestion for average pre treatment sprayer, is it gun spray enough or MUST ? i found it hard to make the spray spread nicely without using proper sprayer. if use gun is MUST then i need to request this from my boss :)

This video is great, but the background loop is annoying and too loud :)
