I did not buy one but saw it in operation during the bling camp in Nov 09...I liked it and the price!...it is technically capable of dark garment, but they will not sell you that because of all the hype about white inks and the problems they give...but I liked it

when you say dark do you mean like black-dark brown because 99% of my tees and sweats are white or med gray.

dark meaning black, dark maroons etc...but like any other DTG printer that can print on pastels, you need to know there will be some color shifting, but this can result in pleasing results

This means that you will not be able to print a white underbase. Thus, the colors in your graphic have to be darker than the color of your substrate or the colors will change. Here is a link to an illustration of this - What Color Garments Can I Print Using Only CMYK Ink on a Direct-to-Garment Printer? | DAGuide.

You can also check out this document that goes over dtg printing in general - www.multirip.com/dtg101.pdf. It was created over a year ago, so some of the newer printers are not in there. But it will provide you a good foundation of knowledge for you to work from and will help you ask the right questions to find a printer that will work for your business model.

Hope this info helps. Best wishes,

Mark
