Hello peoples. I have been seriously considering setting up shop in Taiwan and starting a printing service. I've gone and done some research on almost all of the DTG printers and I always come back to the Anajet printers. I love how the printer, itself, is compact and doesn't take up too much space.

Fast forwarding through my master plan...Lets say I ship my Anajet printer back to Taiwan, and I set up shop. Then I run into a problem and I need to replace some parts. What would be the fastest way to receive these replacement parts? I checked the nearest Asia Reseller, and they are based out in Tokyo.

Well along with your shipping of the printer I would send along:
A Extra encoder strip
A Extra Print Head
A Extra Wiper Blade
A Extra Capping Station
The amount of the above would depend on how deep your pockets are
Now for ink , that would be your biggest chalenge and I would not ship that with the printer just to be safe, I would also look at the electrial requirement at the new location.

I think there's a local distributor of Kornit and Mimaki in Taiwan. Have you consider them also?

Thanks for the heads up. I didnt really look into Kornit, maintly because of how expensive the printers are. Budget-wise, I'm looking at spending around 10-15G. So I'm pretty fixed on Anajet. I will go back to LA in a few months to check out Anajet over in Costa Mesa to check things out firsthand.

Yea I was thinking I would probably have to buy extra parts just in case. The ink, I would probably have to stock up and make sure I have enough in stock each month.

Have you been looking at the Taiwan made machine?

Hi Naga, I wasn't aware there were any taiwan made machines. I know kornit has an office out here, but kornit is a bit out of my price range. I know china produces cheap machines, but i'm definitely not considering buying anything from china; especially a dtg printer.

Some of Eastech's printers are sold (represented) in US, but not the DTG models.
The DTG printers have a build-in fuser, but It's not strong enough to fuse the inks completely, according to a review I saw.
The inks they sell looks like being Chinese.

Their sales office in Bangkok is very close to where I live. Maybe I will visit them some day, though I will personally rather start up with screen printing.
