Steve,
Please don't get caught up in any sales / marketing pitch. If you are looking at any
dtg printer that is based off an Epson printer, you are going to have to do maintenance. Ask the owners that have been around long enough and they will probably tell you it is daily maintenance. Even with these new white ink circulation or automatic cleaning software, you still have to keep your maintenance station, wiper blade, enconder strip and other key items clean. When you put white ink into a printer, the maintenance increases significantly. Also make sure you understand fully what the automatic cleaning software programs do and how much (if any) ink is wasted / lost each time the program begins.
I make these statements in general about all Epson-based
dtg printers - not one in specific. Great progress has been made in the past couple of years to make them more user friendly, but you don't want them to sit for several days. If you don't have enough business or available time to keep it printing, find someone that has one and get them to outsource the work for you. There are too many unfortunate stories of people that did not do enough research and now have a piece of equipment that does not match their business model.
Best wishes in your future decision(s),
Mark
P.S. Have you contacted Mike at Best Blanks (Ft. Lauderdale area). They are or were an Anajet distributor. They might have a customer that you can speak with.
