Hello,
I want to start a small business with personalized T-shirts and dresses (cotton) for children and personalized scarves (silk). The T-shirts and the dresses will be printed on the whole surface. The DTG printer will be equipped with 2-4 platens for already-made products (e.g T-shirt etc.) which can be changed with one printing area (one platen, vacuum system) at least 60cm*90 cm for dresses.
I found an ad for an UV printer, using UV ink, with a print surface of 1.3 m * 1.5 m. The materials that can be printed are any kind of textile materials, wood, metal, ceramic etc. (?!)
I have some questions for you:
1. I read that for textile materials is used a water-based ink. Is it possible to print textile materials with UV ink? And it is possible to use the same printer for so many types of materials?
2. The eco-solvent ink is properly for textile (cotton and silk)?
3. What DTG flatbed printer for textiles with a print size of at least 60 cm * 90 cm could I get for max. 15.000 Euro?
Thank you very much.
