I like to know how many businesses "dtg printers" are located on the Westcoast and in particular california.
Westcoast?
California?
Female?
may be there is someone here on the board that might have those statistics for you, but the sales reps for those companies may be the best place to look into for such stats.

are planning on getting one ?
....im still waiting for my free test model.
I received a test sample from SWF. Its a nice sample, but I like to go see a live presentation altho I saw dtg over a year ago at a show, but I was not interested at that time. I am a cautious buyer. I like to go ahead and get my heatpress first...still considering a silkscreen press. I like the idea of no messy ink. I am leaning towards the dtg.
Contact SWF (if you are thinking of purchasing the DTG Kiosk etc) and see if they have someone close to you willing to let you do a sample print on their machine. You'd be surprised at how many people are willing to let you come in to their shop in order to help you.

are there places in the bay area just to get the printing done?
There probably are, but you might have to contact one of the distributors of the machine to see if they have any customers in the area that they've sold a DTG printer to.
hey i new guy from newyork....city...land of the land ..i want to know if dtg is just as beautiful as heatpress ...it may be limited but it creativity a beautiful thing..i just want to upgrade the aresnal and i was leaning toward screen printing but i stumble on dtg which is sorta a combo of both..my question are how many shirts lets say four color can i get out a dtg in a year ...and in general use how many shirts can it do before ink refill i ve read alot but can seem to get a grasp on if im gonna make this 20 grand back in 2k shirts or 4 thousand shirts plus the consumables .. i love creativity but the lights need to stay on lol..help me out...
my first post how did i do...
When I purchased the DTG Kiosk here in Sacramento, the sales rep mentioned a few other buyers were in the Sacramento and surrounding areas such as Davis. I don't know how many exactly.
how many shirts would you say you printed with the kiosk... i trying to get some math on general numbers of ink and how many shirt the machine will may produce before it break ..if anyone had to have a repair how much was it..its like a toyota or a hyundia .. i look out for the lemon i need the most miles for the buck just know that at 10 a shirt i would have to do a least 2 thousand shirt of whatever to break even ...what s good number if you guys are in the 4 thousand shirts and five thousand then i comfortable with parting with 20 k
This is good info. I like to know if it's worth purchasing the equipment.
I visited the ISS show in Long Beach this past weekend. I thought throughout my walking around someone would have prices that would have just stood out. There were a few things but nothing to seriously impress me. I figure at a show, the prices are better and this was the day I waited for to make my purchase. I saw lots of vendors with the Geo Knight and the Brother 541. Although not many people speak for the Brother, I was impressed that so many vendors were selling or using this particular dtg. I had my heart set on the DTG Kiosk. Most of the dtg manufacturers have my price range $15K, so its just a matter of deciding which one will best suit my needs.
As for the heat transfer, I re-thinking on the Geo. I was looking at the DK Knight, but the Geo's quality looks like something for a business not home. I am not looking for anything that is not durable but at the same time I cant use anything that is too much for my hands/wrist.
