What to Purchase Before You Receive Your Printomize DTF Printer

A checklist of essential products and supplies to have ready before your Printomize America training day.

To make your first Printomize DTF training session smooth and productive, we recommend gathering these supplies in advance. Having them on hand ensures you can follow along with demonstrations, perform maintenance correctly, and avoid delays once your printer is in operation.

These recommendations apply to all Printomize America DTF printers — Hyper DTF, Peregrine, Nebula, Maverick AIO, and Eyas2.

Recommended Items to Have Before Training Day

1. Cleaning Solution (Simple Green Mix)

  • Mix 25% Simple Green with 75% distilled water.

  • This blend is used for general surface cleaning — removing ink residue from the printer body and non-print surfaces.

  • Use only original Simple Green (green label). Do not use variations such as “Simply Green D.”

  • Available locally at most hardware or home-improvement stores (e.g., Home Depot).

2. Kodacolor Flushing Solution

  • Used for wet-capping your printheads at the end of each print day.

  • Keeps the nozzle plate moist and prevents drying or clogs.

3. Kodacolor Cleaning Solution

  • A small starter bottle ships with your machine, but it’s important to keep extra on hand.

  • Use when wet-capping due to blocked channels, head strikes, or long idle periods.

4. Lint-Free Cleaning Wipes

  • For cleaning delicate components such as the printhead, wiper blade, and capping station.

  • Prevents fiber contamination and streaking.

5. Cleaning Sticks (Swabs)

  • Used to gently clean tight areas around the printhead assembly and under the carriage.

  • These should be non-abrasive and solvent-safe.

6. Temperature and Humidity Reader

  • DTF printers must operate in a climate-controlled environment.

  • Ideal conditions: 65 – 75 °F (18 – 24 °C) and 45 – 60 % humidity.

  • A digital reader allows you to monitor both conditions daily.

7. Humidifier

  • If your production space is too dry, a humidifier helps maintain optimal conditions and prevents ink drying in the nozzles.

8. Moisture-Absorbent Packets

  • Place near consumables such as ink, film, and powder to protect them from excess humidity or condensation.

  • Any quality desiccant packet will work.

Additional Notes

  • Stock extra distilled water and gloves for cleaning tasks.

  • Keep a clean microfiber cloth or towel near your printer to wipe any overspray or condensation.

  • Have a small waste ink container ready before training day for any flushing or purging demonstrations.
