Thank you for your response. I did not press before applying the pretreat. I will do that from now on. I have my print quality set at 3.Print direction is at bi-direction. Ink density is set at 0. White density is set at 0. Dry time is 25 seconds. Is there anything else I should change? Thank you for your help! @@AAPrintSupplyCo
@@AAPrintSupplyCo My Print Quality is set at Level 3. White print quality is 2. Color print quality is 2. Dry time is set at 25. Color density is 25. White top is 25. Reduce white area is 2. Under white is on. Should I change any of those settings?
@@JeniferSyme Have you found a solution? If so, please share. The 2270 has been a nightmare for me, mainly on the curing level. Kudos to AAPSCO for now suggesting a prepress before pretreat, which wasn't the narrative in the beginning. Just so everyone is clear on this... That's 1. prepress 2. pretreat 3. press/dry pretreat 4. print 5. press/dry or whatever cures the ink. Distributors make DTG out to be a quick process so I just want to make sure everyone knows that's simply a marketing ploy. Another thing that distributors don't share is that to print on polyester, you have to put a poly shirt under heat 3 times for DTG. Perhaps that's no problem with thick cheap poly. But the super think poly spandex that is so popular today really struggles with that much heat.
Are there any fumes coming off this printer? I’ve been seeing some videos of DTF and DTG printers and some have said ventilation is an issue because of the fumes coming off them. Some even suggested wearing a respirator mask while printing all day because of fumes and residue in the air. Is this a concern with this printer?
Hello there, great question. With direct to garment printing there are NO fumes and the printer and ink have safety certifications available for review. The concerns you are referring to are specifically related to powder itself. We strongly advise against ingesting/inhaling the actual DTF powder as we do not want foreign substances in our lungs. A clean process will give best results for a safe experience. Ventilation is advised for the actual drying of the powder as some steam/vapor may produce when drying the powder to the water based ink. Contact us for more info ANYTIME!
Another great video. Does the F2270 print on poly or were you referring to dtf when you said poly polo? Also, with that shaker, how easy would it be to switch from normal powder to dye blocker powder and vice versa? Finally, is 60 second post press required for all fabrics on the epson DTG? Thanks!
Hello, for high % of polyester there is a more specific pretreat formula available to print directly onto the material. DTF would also be an option for synthetic materials like this that can save time and ink.
Hello, yes we can but testing is advised to get settings dialed in. Here is the polyester pretreat we need to perform this: aaprintsupplyco.com/products/epson-dtg-polyester-pretreatment-c13t43r200-1gallon
Hey there! Yes, the garment was pretreated before actually being printed on - this is what allows the white ink to bond to the shirt. While pretreating is the real only learning curve with DTG machines make the process very consistent. Fully pretreated, ready to print shirts are also available in the market to remove this step of the process!
Hello there! For a garment printed with CMYK on top of white underbase we would for sure want to give 1 minute in the press total. A pro tip to increase the vibrancy would be to press in two 30 second intervals: after the first 30 seconds you open the machine, you will see some steam release, then close it back down for another 30 seconds (60 total).

I’m interested but fearful of maintenance and clogging problems due to not running every day.

Just bought this DTG machine. How do I get my whites to be whiter and colors to be more bold?
Hello, you want to make sure to always pre press the garment before applying pretreat. What quality level setting are you using?

@@AAPrintSupplyCowhat’s a good pretreatment machine ?
Wow! 60 seconds 340F for that DTG? I though with that tempeture you will cook that shirt but look super sharp

No thanks. I think I will continue to screen print!
Hey there, thanks for the feedback! You do know we have offered screen printing ink, equipment and supplies since 1986, right?
