Default I saw this printer at NBM show in Ft Worth

I got to watch this printer work at the NBM show this weekend. All I can say is "Wow, I really love it!!!" I was really impressed by the speed of printing, the ease of printing, and the quality of the printing. Although it does have the plastic feel to it that the other white inks have it really doesn't feel too heavy. We got about 3 dark shirts printed and have already started washing them and so far they are holding up really well. I had the guys show me how to set up a design to print and send it to the printer and it was really a lot easier than I thought it would be. The longest thing it took to do was to dry the shirts. They suggested that you use a conveyor dryer and that took about 6 minutes per shirt but when you have several shirts going through the dryer one right behind the next it didn't seem so long. I really like the idea of being about to do 2 shirts at the same time of the same design or of different designs. It all seemed to work really well. We were there through the entire show and they had the printer going almost the entire time and didn't seem to have any real issues with it at all. We are now in the process of trying to set up a place to put one and we would also like to find a good pretreat machine. It does take up quite a big space and it will not fit through a regular size door. They were telling us that the first shipment of printers will be in the states in June and they will be continuing fill the orders from that point so we could expect somewhere between July to September depending on the number of orders that were ahead of us.
