[Before You Start](https://support.printomizeamerica.com/knowledge-base/before-you-start?hsLang=en-us) # 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. - \[[Link to Kodacolor Flushing Solution](https://www.printomizeamerica.com/products/kodacolor-flushing-solution)\] --- ### 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. - \[[Link to Kodacolor Cleaning Solution](https://www.printomizeamerica.com/products/kodacolor-cleaning-solution)\] --- ### 4. Lint-Free Cleaning Wipes - For cleaning delicate components such as the **printhead, wiper blade, and capping station**. - Prevents fiber contamination and streaking. - \[[Link to Lint-Free Cleaning Wipes](https://amzn.to/4cs0HMN)\] --- ### 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. - \[[Link to Cleaning Sticks](https://www.printomizeamerica.com/products/foam-tip-cleaning-swabs-50-pack)\] --- ### 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. - \[[Uline Desiccant Packets\]](https://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-20190/Desiccants/Desi-View-Desiccants-Unit-Size-1-3-5-Gallon-Pail) --- ### 9. Printomize America YouTube Channel - Subscribe to our channel for official **setup tutorials, maintenance guides, and troubleshooting videos.** - \[[Printomize America YouTube Channel\]](https://www.youtube.com/@PrintomizeAmerica) --- #### 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.   #### ✅ Next Steps Continue with setup and first-time operation: - [MainTop Eyas2 Setup](https://support.printomizeamerica.com/knowledge-base/maintop-eyas2-setup?hsLang=en-us) - How to Connect PrintFactory to Your DTF Printer - Hyper DTF – Pre-Print Checklist --- - [FAQs](https://support.printomizeamerica.com/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en-us) - [Before You Start](https://support.printomizeamerica.com/knowledge-base/before-you-start?hsLang=en-us) - [DTF Software](https://support.printomizeamerica.com/knowledge-base/dtf-software?hsLang=en-us#main-content) - [PrintFactory](https://support.printomizeamerica.com/knowledge-base/dtf-software?hsLang=en-us#printfactory) - [Flexi](https://support.printomizeamerica.com/knowledge-base/dtf-software?hsLang=en-us#flexi) - [DTF Printer Guides](https://support.printomizeamerica.com/knowledge-base/dtf-printer-guides?hsLang=en-us#main-content) - [DTF Printer Models – Hyper DTF Series](https://support.printomizeamerica.com/knowledge-base/dtf-printer-guides?hsLang=en-us#dtf-printer-models-hyper-dtf-series) - [Heat Press Guides](https://support.printomizeamerica.com/knowledge-base/heat-press-guides?hsLang=en-us#main-content) - [MEM Heat Press](https://support.printomizeamerica.com/knowledge-base/heat-press-guides?hsLang=en-us#mem-heat-press) - [Back to Printomize](https://www.printomizeamerica.com/) - [Knowledge Base](https://support.printomizeamerica.com/knowledge-base) - [Customer Portal](https://support.printomizeamerica.com/customer-portal) [![Printomize America Logo](https://support.printomizeamerica.com/hs-fs/hubfs/NEW_Printomize_logo_for_white_background_50.png?width=150&height=29&name=NEW_Printomize_logo_for_white_background_50.png "Printomize America Logo")](https://www.printomizeamerica.com/) Printomize America 20505 Earl St, Torrance, Ca 90503 (323) 761-9198 [mailto:info@printomizeamerica.com](mailto:info@printomizeamerica.com) Copyright © 2021 - 2026
