How To Print Direct To Garment With The Epson F2000 DTG Printer

Check out the Epson F2000 here: https://goo.gl/M9Mqps Transcript: Have you ever wondered how those beautiful, high detail, full color designs get onto t-shirts? Well, as most of you know, screen printing them is one way. Shirts are printed as ink is squeegeed through a screen onto a garment. Screen printing is a craft, production friendly and has passed the test of time. Another option for t-shirt printing is direct to garment printing. Direct to garment or DTG is when a digital printer such as this Epson F2000 prints, you guessed it, directly onto a garment, digitally. It requires no screens, no mess, and minimal space. Sound easy enough? It can be if you do it right and use it for the right type of job. Let’s start there, the job. Direct to garment caters to short run jobs with full color artwork on basic cotton or poly blend garments. So if your customer brings you this logo and wants 500 of them, You’re going to be better off screen printing it, but if they only want 36 of them, now we’re talking dtg! Unlike screen printers, DTG printers print only a small amount of ink, they also lay down an extreme amount of detail, this means the better quality shirt you print on, the better your print will look. I recommend combed cotton or poly cotton blends commonly known as ringspun shirts, like this Next Level shirt you see here. Avoid heavy, rough cotton low cost shirts as well as dark polyester or polyester blends which will dye migrate. Next we need to pre-treat the shirt, this is an easy step and typically done with a machine, pre-treatment mats the shirt fibers together and gives a base for the print to stand up on, for dark garments, it also chemically sets the white under base so you can print color on top of it. Once you spray the pre-treatment, we tap it with a heat press to matt the fibers down for about 35 seconds at 350 degrees. Once pre-treated I can load the garment onto my epson printer and apply the hoop to smooth out the garment onto the print platen. Next let’s jump into my Epson Garment Creator and drag in my artwork. Once it is centered and placed I simply hit print to my Epson F2000 RIP which is friendly to Mac and PC. The rip converts all of my important color data and detail and makes it compatible with the DTG ink set used in the Epson F2000. The printer receives the information, loads the shirt, and starts printing. On this dark garment it prints the white under base first and then cycles back through to print the color overprint. With this 10x12” design it took us 3 minutes to print and we used approximately $ of ink. After our print is done we can set the ink either in a heat press for around a minute or down a large convection conveyor dryer which works great if you have a lot of these printers going at once. And there you have it, start to finish, we have a shirt in a matter of a few minutes. Direct to garmenting could be a perfect solution if you have customers needing shorter runs, higher color work. The Epson F2000 is manufactured and supported directly by Epson, it’s easy to use, setup, maintain and very affordable.
