Default What machine do you advice me to buy?

Hi there
How are you all? I am totally new to this site but from what I have seen people are generally very helpful and nice, so thanks in advance!
I looking to begin a t-shirt business in my country using direct to garment printing. Which machine do you advice me to buy? I thought that is the GT-541 brother machine is great but using it means that I will just print in white fabric and only on shirts?! So what about your opinion? What are your advices since you have great experience in this field??
And Where can i find Blank T-Shirts that are 50% Cotton, 50% polestar and howmuch does it cost?
Thanks for your help.

If you are not in the country of manufacture or where there is strong support, I would NEVER buy ANY DTG machine. The Brother is very good and you can print on pastels...but with some color shifting. If you do not have any manufacturer or strong sales store in your area I would suggest going another way. The shipping costs to return a unit for service would be just too great. and then some companies can't cut it and go bankrupt...such as T-Jet...so use extra caution in which way you go

For GT-541 installation and training will be provided in another country for 2 days . Maintenance and support is also given from that country. I don't think it will be a hard thing .

If this were the case what would you advise doing instead?
