A Sophisticated Touchscreen Pretreatment Sprayer
The Lawson Zoom-Pro is an industrial, state-of-the-art DTG pretreatment sprayer. Pretreat garments quickly, easily, and consistently at the touch of a button or foot pedal with zero overspray. The color touchscreen can store up to 40 programmable sequences for instant recall, features a servo-style motorized spray head with adjustable speed and spray length, shirt orientation, programmable settings for dark, light, polyester, and custom pretreatment solutions, adjustable purge routines, a cost calculator, and numerous automation features. The Zoom-Pro is ideal for DTG printers who demand the highest quality control for their workflow.
For those seeking pretreatment spray automation, the Lawson Zoom-Pro offers cost-saving benefits and delivers consistent spray applications. This pretreatment sprayer is compatible with all direct-to-garment printer pretreatment solutions, including thicker polyester solutions.
Achieve consistent and professional results on every garment, every time. With simple commands, the Zoom-Pro applies the perfect amount of pretreatment solution, ensuring quality prints day after day while reducing pretreatment fluid costs.
Pretreat four shirts with the Zoom-Pro in the time it takes to pretreat one shirt with a Wagner pretreatment hand sprayer.
What's the difference between the Zoom-AE and the Zoom-Pro?
The Zoom-AE uses manually adjusted controls for spray length start position, spray speeds, and purge routines, with the operator manually opening and closing the slide drawer. In contrast, the Zoom-Pro features a fully automatic slide drawer for fast and easy loading of shirts, hoodies, and specialty items like pants, a programmable color touchscreen that supports up to 40 preset recipes for automatic spraying, optional barcode scanning, and more. It includes two one-gallon containers for easy access to pretreatment solution and distilled water. A convenient foot pedal enhances operational speed and ease.
The Zoom-Pro’s color touchscreen panel automatically controls all spray parameters and can integrate with your UPC system (an optional feature). It uses a robust electric pump for the pretreatment solution, allowing the supply feed tube to be placed directly into bulk containers (5-gallon, 30-gallon, or 55-gallon drums), ideal for production shops. Similarly, the Zoom-Pro supports a bulk feeding system for distilled water.
Technical FAQ: Choosing the Right Screen Printing Mesh Count
What mesh count is best for printing glitter and shimmer inks?
Use a low mesh count between 24 and 86 for glitter and shimmer inks. Larger glitter flakes require very open meshes such as 24/25, 38/40, or 60/61 to allow particles to pass through without clogging. For finer shimmer inks or foil adhesives, an 85/86 mesh provides better control while still allowing adequate ink flow.
Why is 110 mesh commonly used in garment screen printing?
A 110 mesh count is widely used because it delivers a heavy ink deposit, making it ideal for bold graphics, block text, and high-viscosity plastisol inks. It is especially effective for white underbases, allowing printers to achieve strong opacity in a single pass and improve production efficiency.
What mesh count should I use for thick white plastisol ink?
A 125 mesh count is a strong choice for thick white plastisol inks. It balances ink flow and detail, offering slightly finer resolution than 110 mesh while still maintaining enough openness to prevent clogging or poor ink release.
What is the best all-purpose mesh count for t-shirt printing?
A 156/160 mesh count is considered the best general-purpose option for screen printing on garments. It works well with both plastisol and water-based inks, providing good detail retention while maintaining consistent ink coverage across most designs.
How can I achieve a soft-hand feel when printing with plastisol ink?
To create a softer print with plastisol ink, use a higher mesh count such as 196/200. This reduces the amount of ink deposited on the garment, resulting in a lighter, smoother feel. Keep in mind that higher mesh counts may reduce opacity, making this approach best for lighter fabrics or fashion prints.
What mesh count is ideal for halftones and fine detail printing?
A 230 mesh count is ideal for halftones, fine lines, and detailed artwork. It allows for precise stencil definition and clean ink transfer. For very fine detail or thinner inks, a 280 mesh count can further improve sharpness and control.
When should I use a 305 mesh screen for screen printing?
A 305 mesh count is best for ultra-fine detail, including small halftone dots, CMYK process printing, and simulated process designs. The higher thread count ensures accurate dot reproduction and prevents distortion, resulting in sharper, more professional prints.
