MY FIRST TIME USING A DTG PRINTER!

Getting a DTG printer into my shop has been on my list of goals since the beginning. I can’t even begin to count the amount of times that I’ve had to turn away a job or a client because they needed something that just didn’t make sense for a purely screen printing shop during my 4 years in the game so far. While some screen printers have negative opinions on direct to garment like its some sort of competition, I think they have their own place in this industry and in my shop. This is why I teamed up with Polyprint to get their Echo 2 printer and Pretreater Pro in the shop so we can explore exactly where this DTG stuff fits.

A few months ago we unboxed the machines and today I’m stoked to finally fire them up for the first time. I wasn’t sure what to expect with the learning this new craft and with what the machine could do. I was definitely shocked by both! Check out the video to see my first venture into the world of DTG.
