Overview
The HY 2D DTG (Pigment) is a dual-station industrial DTG printer that keeps one platen printing while the other is loaded or unloaded. The operator places a garment, then automatic in-line jetted pre-treatment and synchronized white-and-color printing run in sequence. Paired with an external tunnel dryer, the layout supports a continuous one-operator workflow.
Built for continuous pigment DTG production
Dual-station alternating operation lets one operator load or unload one of the
dual platens while the other station prints. Dual print carriages on a
high-precision magnetic levitation (maglev) linear rail provide the mechanical
foundation for the continuous workflow.
Automatic in-line jetted pre-treatment removes the separate manual spraying
step. White and color print in one sequence, then the garment moves to the
external tunnel dryer. No steaming or washing is required, creating a
zero-discharge pigment workflow.
Consumable formulations and supply options are maintained in the
Consumables catalogue; this page covers the printer and line
configuration.

One operator, continuous pigment workflow
The two stations keep garment handling and printing moving in parallel before external curing.
One operator prepares one platen while the other station continues printing.

External tunnel dryer
One operator loads or unloads one station while the other prints, then transfers the printed garment to external tunnel-dryer curing.
The production system, made visible
Focused component views connect the published specification to the machine architecture. Final component configuration is confirmed on quotation.
Dual print carriages on maglev rails
Dual print carriages run on a maglev linear rail.
The carriage and rail system is the mechanical basis for controlled print accuracy and production speed.
Dual-station alternating operation
One of the dual platens prints while the other is loaded or unloaded.
The alternating cycle keeps one operator focused on garment handling while the machine continues printing.
Quick-change platens (custom sizes available) + Dual vacuum platen system
Quick-change platens let one machine cover multiple product formats.
The dual vacuum platen system uses dual-circuit hold-down to secure the garment during printing.
Where this system fits production
Cotton and blends containing at least 60% cotton across multiple quick-change platen formats.

FAQ
Questions before you configure
How should I choose between HY 2D DTG (Pigment) and a DTF workflow?
Choose HY 2D DTG (Pigment) when the job is direct printing on cotton or blends containing at least 60% cotton and the planned line benefits from in-line pre-treatment. Compare a DTF workflow when transfer production or a broader garment-material plan is the priority. Final selection should be checked against the actual fabric, artwork and daily output target.
How does white ink support dark garments?
White ink creates the underbase for color on a dark garment. HY 2D DTG (Pigment) prints white and color in one print sequence, while the Epson i1600 heads are dedicated to automatic in-line jetted pre-treatment and are not color-ink printheads.
How many machines can one operator manage, and how should capacity be planned?
One operator can keep one machine's two stations moving by loading or unloading one platen while the other prints. There is no universal multi-machine staffing number. Plan capacity from the published A4 dark-pattern references, 115 pcs/h at 3-pass (720 × 900), 90 pcs/h at 4-pass (720 × 1200), or 60 pcs/h at 6-pass (720 × 1800), then validate garment handling and tunnel-dryer timing with the intended job.
How much space and supporting equipment does the tunnel dryer require?
Curing is external, so the line plan must include the selected tunnel dryer or oven, transfer space, operator access and service clearances. The exact dryer footprint and utility requirement depend on the chosen configuration and are resolved in the pre-order layout review.
