2、The process of DTG printing machine

Next, we will introduce the working process of DTG printer. To briefly summarize, there are four steps: image RIP processing -> spray pretreatment liquid -> direct printing -> color fixation.

(1). Image RIP processing

For a T-shirt to print better, the picture effect must be good, the impurities in the picture must be cleaned, and the color blocks that are prone to color difference must be fine-tuned in the picture processing software (this requires long-term experience accumulation ), in this way, you can ensure that the picture you want is the effect you want.

(2). Pray pretreatment liquid

Before the pure cotton T-shirt is fixed on the platform, it needs to be pre-treated. The pre-treatment liquid of light-colored cotton fabric and the pre-treatment liquid of dark pure cotton fabric is different. The pre-treatment liquid of light-colored fabric is mainly Used to increase the vividness of the pattern, the pre-treatment liquid of the dark cotton fabric is used to produce a chemical reaction with the white ink used for the primer so that the white ink can be firmly absorbed on the dark cotton fabric. The tools are diversified. You can use professional spray coating equipment or electric spray cans. In the process of spraying, it must be evenly sprayed, and the amount must be sufficient. The effect of uneven or insufficient printing will not be good, and it will be easy to wash off. Over spraying will easily cause waste. If it is not used well, the cost of spraying a piece of clothing may be Will exceed the cost of white ink.

(3). Direct printing

After spraying the pre-treatment liquid, you need to use a scraper to scrape it evenly. Then put it on the pressing machine, and then use the DTG printer to easily complete it.

(4).Color fixation.

The T-shirt coming out of the T-shirt direct spraying machine is actually just a semi-finished product. After fixing, it can ensure that the pattern will not fall. There are certain tricks for fixing. If the temperature is too high, it is easy to cause damage to the fabric. The color fastness is not enough. If the time is too long, it is easy to damage the fabric. If the time is too short, the pattern will be washed off. Finally ready to wear.

Circulation is actually drawing from one white ink cartridge into another white ink cartridge, twitching back and forth, stirring back and forth, to maintain the fluidity of the ink, it is not easy to block the nozzle.

In addition, there are also customers who have used the brand DTG printing machine, and the brand machine has been turned on for as long as one hour. Customers report that the turn-on time is too long, which affects production efficiency. Moreover, the main function of the machine during this hour is to clean the print heads.
