Many people ask the question of if a pretreatment machine is necessary. I always recommend purchasing one with your DTG if it's in the budget. If not, you'll want to budget for one within the first couple of months of owning a DTG machine.
Yes, you can manually pretreat and I know many who do it very well. If you're using DTG as a hobby or will be the only one working with it, saving some costs by not purchasing a pretreatment machine could be beneficial for you. There is a much steeper learning curve to manually pretreating garments than using a pretreatment machine.
If you're adding DTG to an existing business or it will be an integral part of your new business, a pretreatment machine will greatly help with efficiency and quality control.
