Default dtg, green screen

I'm relatively new to the business. We have a brother GT541 printer. I would like to couple this with green screen technology and see what the fair/car show circuit would do. A couple of questions come to mind. First, is there serious (I know that "serious" is a relative term) money to made and second, would a vending trailer be a good investment for this endeavor? Any input or advice would be appreciated. Harold

Check with your distributor or Brother to see if they can provide you with the names of other DTG users who are doing this. I have heard of at least one person who took the DTG on the road. I would think you would need some sort of vending trailer to transport the monster. You will also need to remove the heads (or do something with them - can't exactly remember what) before moving it each time.

Another place to discuss this would be Screenprinting and Digital Garment Printing University . There may be someone on this forum who is taking the DTG on the road.

Good luck!

Bonnie, I've checked with my distributor. So far he hasn't responded. I think maybe he feels he might be giving me priviledged information. However, I really would like to know and perhaps someday I might have, the answers to my questions. Thanks anyway.
