Discuss the various aspects of direct to garment printing. DTG printers include Brother, T-Jet, Flexi-Jet, DTG Kiosk, Kornit, Mimaki, Tex-Jet and others! Discuss and learn about this up and coming printing technology.
It's going to depend a lot on your needs. Suggest you take a couple of hours and research the DTG section to get the good and bad on all the models. Then come back to us and tell us A) your budget, B) What will you be printing, and C) what your anticipated volume will be.
Having a supplier that can assist you is well worth the money over what is the best! You can get a lemon in any of them, without good tech support the machine may be useless!
All depends... there is a Thread on it but descent machines start from 11k up 175k
Depends if you wanna do CMKY or CMKY+ white or discharge for dark garments...
Def. recommend getting a machine from a supplier who may be closer by to get inks, parts if breaks down ect.
Also look into how large you can print, machine vary from doing 12.5x16 up to 17x53" for oversize shirt/towels..
Also remember some machines are alot faster than others depends in production needs
Bulk ink vs Closed cart.
Buy used for a third of price than New
Ya alot to consider, read through forum and you will learn alot, this ain't gonna be a moment where someone gonna hold your hand through it because everyone has there own opinion on machines
