Default Printing limitations

I am still trying to figure out which printer to get. My friend has the Flexi and it CANNOT print on Polyester, or blend totes only Cotton, canvas ones.

Anyone know if DTG, or ANAJET also have these limitations?

I am looking for one that can print on Poly Blend totes as well as tiles. Please, any help would be great!

Thank you!

Mardiv,

There are some new inks that will be approved for use in the Flexi-Jet that have very good adhesion to Polyester blends and with a few tricks can print directly onto 100% poly.
As far as tiles go you will need to print onto bisque tiles (non glazed) and pre-coat using an ink receptive coating.
