Default New to DTG and need help

Hello to every one. I have just come from charlotte show and saw a lot of DTG printers. I still don't know which one to buy. I have also read a lot of remarks on here about different ones. Still no one has said exactly which one is the better choice. Yes each one has it better points. Here is what I want to do with it. Do small order t-shirt print on white and dark tees. (36) or less.
I want easy to use, good support, good ink, bright color, very little fade after washing, ect. I looled at Sawgrass, brothers, Flexi-jet, Anajet. I want good and bad feed back but direct to the point on best one to buy so I don't make a mistake in equipment this time and be sorry I bought that brand when there was a better one out there. Yes money is not hold up. The machine choice is my hold up. Please any and all help is wanted.

LOVE my Brother - no problems ever. BUT, it doesn't print on dark shirts. If you don't need to print on dark shirts, I would say Brother is best. Which machine is best is going to be different for different people. Good luck on your choice!

I too love my Brother, but it does not do dark shirts. I have found it easy to use. Barb

If I had to make a choice right now, it would be either the Flexi-Jet or the HM-1 Kiosk. It appears from the postings on this forum that the support from SWF East is very good; have not seen too much support feedback on the Flexi-Jet however. But for now, I'm going to wait until SGIA in October to see all of them in action, and keep watching & reading this forum.

Love my Brother, does not do black or navy blue shirts. I have done military green and some browns but no white ink so the ink has to be darker than the shirt. But if you do not have to do dark shirts with white ink I believe the brother is the best machine out there. No complaints, no breakdowns. Only my opinion.

Good luck on your choice
