In this you mention not to use parchment paper for pressing after the shirt has been sprayed. Why is this the case? I belive that baking paper used for cooking is considered as parchment paper correct?
Hey Aussie, it is. I'm not sure the model, if you're in Australia you should go to dtgditigal.com and let them hook you up. BUT, if you'd like a better option, check out: spidermini.com/
Great video to show you the right way to manually pretreat a garment for dark printing on a direct to garment printer.

Yes, that is parchment paper. Parchment leaves a kind of matte finish on the shirt, teflon sheets leave a more glossy finish.
Thats a lot of fcking around just to pretreat, but necessary i guess. Is that a Wagner Spray system, which one should I buy ?

Coldesi Colman Cheers mate
What is the paper you use after pretreat ? When you dry it for 35 - 40 seconds ?
That was a teflon sheet, but typically we're using release paper colmanandcompany.com/DTG-Ink-Supplies.html
Thanks !
could you pretreat and let it air dry? say you hung the shirts
You really wouldn't want to Jake. That press not only dries the shirt it mattes down the fibers in it before printing.
Coldesi Colman that’s what I was thinking. Thanks
