360x720 1 overprint, usually print design over once. sometimes, i get good results by color adjustment +10 to +15 360x720, 1 overprint. with black, definitely have to print twice.

For photos I use the 720x720, 4 pass, 2 overprint, fast print, with usually a -35 on density, print twice.

Vector images, 360x540, 6 pass, 2 overprint, 0 density, print twice

Press at 350 for 60 sec.

I seem to be getting a lot better photo imprinting with the new inks, and doing less head cleanings.

I'm looking for a DTG printer? not to buy but to contact.
Is a DTG printer expensive-what's the best and what's the cost?
