Hi,

I have heard whispers of a follow up to the Brother 3series coming later this year?

Apparently it will use the same (Kyo?) heads. Anyone have anymore information on the advancements and what this means for owners of the current 3series?

The current printer is good but a faster large (16x18) platen print and cheaper white ink would be nice.

I noticed a recent price reduction in our region that could be a sign of an upcoming model. It sounds about right timing in the Brother development cycle.

It is probably because they are scared that Epson is going to kick their butt.... lol

I still think Brother has the advantage of printing white and color in the same pass as well as the capability to print them separately if the images contains a lot of white and need time to settle the white first before printing the color. it works well on smaller images like front chest position. That alone and the shorter curing time for the Brother inks makes production much faster.

... any news on when the new printer will be introduced.

I do know they will be using brother heads and cartridges that can have ink recirculate.
Would love to see a Dual platen system too for production environments

I don't think that would work for the 381 because of the single pass print.
With the 361 I also don't think that would because of the fast drying white.
