GJS has launched German-engineered, automatic pre-treatment solutions, especially for direct-to-garment (DTG) printers. There are models for beginners and experienced garment decorators. With over 41 years’ experience, GJS supplies everything needed to start and operate a successful printing business including equipment, consumables, training and support.

One of the new machines - Schulze PRETREATmaker Basic – is entry-level automatic pre-treatment machine for those just getting started with DTG printing but would like to automate the pre-treatment process. The PRETREATmaker Basic is equipped with a single, high-precision nozzle with the maximum spray area of 40 centimetres wide by 45 centimetres long. The length can be adjusted to nine individual settings, each with 5 centimetres intervals for precise coverage and reduced wastage.

The operator can adjust the nozzle to spray uni or bi-directionally and the spray output can also be regulated with the speed of the carriage.

The second new Schulze pre-treatment solution available from GJS is the PRETREATmaker IV, a premium, automatic pre-treatment system for experienced direct-to-garment printers who want high-production workflow and a high standard of results. Like the PRETREAMaker Basic, the length of the spray can also be adjusted, but in smaller 2 centimetres intervals. The operator can adjust the nozzle to spray uni or bi-directionally with a maximum spray area of 40 centimetres wide by 60 centimetres long.

Unlike other automatic pre-treatment machines, the unit is equipped with a switch-valve that allows the operator to easily alternate between two different pre-treatment liquids. An additional switch is used to clean the pre-treatment pump (including the pipe system), providing an automatic cleaning function using the touchscreen display.

The touchscreen display provides the operator with critical and cost-saving information such as the amount of pre-treatment solution used, the status of all system nozzles and if they are operating efficiently, and levels of pre-treatment and other liquids within the system.

The PRETREATmaker IV also features an open-source interface that can be connected directly to the existing customer order system or print workflow software or by utilising barcode technology to simplify and speed-up production.
