Management says “The design of the new DTG – PTM pre-treater has current DTG operators in mind. It’s built to handle the robust needs of business owners who print occasionally -or all day long.”
The machine has a metal construction and is coated with an ACF-50 anti-corrosion film.
The unique spray nozzle system delivers precision surface coating without clogging. And, the PTM is breeze to clean and maintain with an integrated semi-automated cleaning function.
The PTM also encapsulates the shirt entirely, so there is no misting of pre-treat into the room. It’s compact to fit on most tables which can hold the DTG machine.

A unique feature of the PTM unit is that the coating used in production to extend usability life. ACF-50, Anti-Corrosion Formula, a state of the art, anti-corrosion lubricant compound, specifically designed for the Aerospace Industry is incorporated into each PTM unit.
ACF-50 is an ultrathin Fluid Compound (TFFC) that actively treats metal using advanced polar bonding technology. ACF-50 actively penetrates and “creeps” into the tightest seams, lap joints, micro cracks, displacing moisture and salt based corrosive fluids.
Management said: “The PTM is really the culmination of all the experience our group has had with so many DTG printers in the market, We know that pre-treat is the Achilles heel of the DTG industry.” They said.
