I know this is not dye sub but i am not sure of the right place to post this.

Is anyone using the new
Chromablast GX7000 System

I have a gx7000 dye sub system but i see they have a version that is Chromablast for cotton shirts.

I have not found a single review on this yet from someone using this system every day making shirts.

This is pointed out to be a new version of the ink just for the GX7000 and works better then how it did in the Epson's

Is anyone using this?
I would love to be able to make color on cotton Ts.
How is the quality?
If i take a design from my dye sub version i have of the GX7000 and printed it on the Chromablast version would i get the same great quality on the cotton shirt looking as vibrant and good as my dye sub version?

Is Chromablast with the GX7000 any better then just using pigment ink and some of the newer inkjet papers and a Epson?

The Chromablast looks like it cost a lot for the paper and ink so what i save on not using a Poly shirt and using cotton with end up almost as much from the paper and ink cost is that right.? i would hope not

What is the full cost to print a 10x10 area on a shirt.

Say the cotton shirt cost $1.50 then what will the ink and paper cost to make the shirt.

A vapor printed Lady's T cost around $6.50 or so

What will a Chromablast version cost using a $1.50 shirt?
Would be great if it would be in the $3 range less then half of the dye sub version.


But we are using a lot of the lady's Gildan soft style shirts and they cost $325 and even more for a light color. So if the Chromablast cost a lot for each shirt then they could end up costing as much as a Vapor dye sub lady's T or babydoll T.
If i could get this to like $425 all done that would be great by using CB saving $2.25 over the poly version.

Would need to sell around 650 or so shirts to pay for the Chromablast system saving the $2.25 on each one over the vapors.

I am pricing my shirts now and a extra $2.25 added to the price of the shirt looks like a lot when selling on a website.

Going to sell my vapor Ts for $22 but that would look a lot better to the customer at $19.99 for a 100% cotton shirt.

I have found the GX7000/chromablast system
to be excellent. I posted the cost somewhere
on this forum.

These new ink perform well.
I use an ICC profile instead of the powerdriver.
This produces better performance and color.

Search for my gx7000 posts.

I searched all the way back 10 pages and did not find it.

I did see that is has a mask that shows untill you wash it.

This would kill that for my use i can not wash the shirt before we send it out.

Still need to save up for a DTG printer.
Need to sell a lot of shirts the make that worth the cost.

waiting on the new flip flops can we get them in white in place of black?

Now available with the Ricoh 3300. Still don't know how the hand or vibrancy compares to dye sub.
