Janet / Wednesday, 27 April 2022 / Categories: Latest News, Textile, Hardware Impression Technology Australia brings the PRE-T Machine to FESPA 2022 Impression Technology Australia will exhibit its PPS Innovation’s PRE-T machine at the FESPA Tradeshow. The PRE-T is designed for garment decorators using DTG printers. It enables consistent and efficient pre-treatment of garments before printing. The pre-treatment of coloured and dark garments prior to printing plays a vital role in achieving the best image quality and repeatability with DTG printing. PPS Innovations is a subsidiary brand of Impression Technology Australia. Jerry Erich, Business Development Manager at Impression Technology, says, “The PRE-T is really the culmination of all the experience our group has had with so many DTG printers in the market. We know that pre-treating garments is the Achilles heel of the DTG industry. We know it’s a pain to ask unskilled or untrained people in your business to pre-treat garments correctly. So we looked at how we could make the whole DTG process more seamless and simplified”. The PRE-T is available through ColDesi USA, Pigment Inc Europe and Impression Technology SE Asia / Oceania.” About the PPS PRE-T The design of the new PPS pre-treater had current DTG operators in mind. It is built to handle the robust equipment needs of garment decoration businesses. It is designed for efficient and safe pre-treatment of small and large volumes of garments prior to printing. The PRE-T is constructed of metal and coated with ACF-50 anti-corrosion film for longevity. A unique spray nozzle system delivers precision surface coating without clogging. The PRE-T is simple to clean and maintain with an integrated semi-automated cleaning function. The unit encapsulates the shirt entirely during pre-treating and leaves no misting of pre-treat in the print room for the benefit of operator safety. Users set the amount of pre-treat required, load the garment into the unit, and it's ready to operate. There are several firsts with the PRE-T unit, namely; A Maximum pre-treatment area of 19˝ x 15.5˝ (480 x 390mm) Adjustable Spray cycle time between 2 to 12 seconds. Completely enclosed spray chamber with no misting. Rotational shirt platen (load garments front or side and ideal for thicker garments) Adjustable spray length with robust single spray nozzle. Dual tank easy swop system for dark and light garment pre-treatment solution. ACF-50 coated (anti-corrosion film), which extends the usability life of the unit. ACF-50 actively penetrates and “creeps” into the tightest seams, lap joints, micro cracks, displacing moisture and salt-based corrosive fluids. No air compressor or custom electrical wiring is required. Attendees can visit the Pigment.Inc stand number 27-B30 to see PPS Innovation products. Print 870
