I stopped by the Anajet office in Costa Mesa yesterday and talked to a sales rep. Since I'm currently looking to jump onto the DTG printing bangwagon, I figured I could help those who are also thinking of starting and in need of some basic information.
Training Sessions are held at their offices every friday, and you could sign up as many times as you want, which I thought was cool. I was under the impression that you were only allowed to go once.
I will be going back to talk to the sales rep within the week so if anyone has any questions they would like answered, feel free to let me know and I will try to get some answers.
thanks for the heads up.
But I remember browsing around Best Blanks.
I think that is the the F-125, not the Sprint.
I may be wrong.
Can someone confirm this?
The price difference is ridiculous!!!
I would have to go with Best Blanks if this is confirmed.
Same with the printhead.
Supplies Unlimited on their site is showing the Anajet for 16,900. Still not a good price try this one. Advanced Color Sulutions. 13,900 for the sprint. I am going to NJ to look at a demo sprint for 11,000. Only 100 sample t's on it.
FYI - I have been told by an Anajet dealer that the dealers are only allowed to sell the older FP125 model. The only place you can purchase the new Anajet Sprint model is only from Anajet itself. If you check all the dealer web sites that everyone listed you will see that the printers advertised for sale are the older FP125.
Thanks for the post! I have been looking at Anajet for a little while now. I am nervous because some of the posts are not singing its praises at all. I looked into Melco a fews years ago for their embroidery business and was very happy I did not end up with them. I am in Cincinnati so if anyone knows of anyone local I could educate myself more that would be great. Please let me know what you find out and what you go with? I am very curious. Thanks again.
ok i went back to anajet for a 2nd visit, and this might be a little late, but shawn gave me their end of the month special price for ths sprint which basically is -$1500 off the sprint along with the free heatpress. unfortunately i will probably not be able to get the funds within these 2 days, but he has given me a similar deal for next month. anyone interested in buying the new sprint for the same price as the old model better act fast...
I received a quote from AnaJet for a refurb 125. Completly upgraded with software, hooped table, Dakota graphics, RIP software, full warranty and extra ink carts. Total price is $13,500. And the print head is the 1900 like the sprint.
My advice would be avoid avoid DTG with white ink alltogether, just my opinion. Coming from a former DTG with white ink owner. Your payoff/profit numbers are way off compared to any other machine for shirts (I.E. screenprinting, printed vinyl, transfers, etc.)
Thanks for your advice Robert. If ( and I say again ) If I go with this, I would only do whites until I do a lot of trials on darks. I understand the cons of darks and the extra maintenance needed. I am looking at a nitch market with photo shirts. This is one off instant print work. Input??
I do that with my Versacamm, even one off stuff. DTG without the white ink can be profitable, but be prepared for fading issues, color management problems, and like you said - the maintainence.
Once you get your settings down, photo shirts aren't a problem. I've done several in the past few weeks and the customer loves them. Fading isn't an issue on properly cured shirts.
My problem was nobody wanted white shirts, and as soon as you put a photo on another color shirt with no white underbase it distorts the colors. With Vinyl, the underbase is automatically there and I have one price regardless of shirt color, even darks. I disagree about the fading.
