Tusa you must be referring to printing without pretreat on white shirts. When using a pretreat like Image armor light I am getting the same vibrancy before and after cure with not much of any fading even after washing. I haven't printed a white shirt without pretreat in years now.

The great thing about the P6000 inks is you can print on a white shirt with no pretreat and it acts as if there is pretreat on it. The vibrancy is pretty amazing before and after curing/washing.

 

[jmcgurren]

Regardless of vibrancy, I always had an issue with just detail and stuff holding solid.... Especially when solid reds and blacks touch. They migrate into one another without pretreat. How are you finding this with the new inks without PT?

 

[JeridHill]

I printed with a lot of ink where solids touched itself and I didn't see the bleed. The thinner the ink, the more likely it will bleed. The shirt itself is also a factor, but I was pretty impressed with non-bleed. I can do some more testing with yellow solids touching black solids. This is where you see it quite a bit.

With this technological advancement, has the range of printable fabrics increased as well?...i.e. better on poly?

 

[JeridHill]

Not with white ink, but there has been testing on 100% poly, colors ink only, no pretreat. The results have been pretty impressive.

I don't know if the IA pretreat for lights works with Brother inks. Plus I don't like pretreating even with a pretreat machine.

If Genesis really does use different ink that's producing more vibrant colors, I would be very interested.

One question, does the thicker ink mean more clogging like the white inks?

Not with the Genesis because the heads are designed for heavier ink. If you used this ink in EPSON based heads, it would clog.

When do you anticipate taking orders and do you have a machine that is up and running to see a demo?

 

[EricDeem]

We will be in Orlando for the ISS Show Sept 10-12 and Ft. Worth from Oct 15-17...the Genesis will be there in all it's glory! We hope to start taking orders/deposits in the next 60 days but we don't have an actual date set yet. Let me know if you need tickets or additional information 877-202-0886 x 105

Hi, I am in the process of looking for a new machine and this one looks like it will be awesome. Will trade ins be accepted towards this genesis? Do we know the price yet?
Thank you

 

[clippernate34]

They have said the price is 28k

Hi Eric,
This is Chris with CSI Promotions. Did you ever send out the t-shirt samples for us? I never did receive them. Thank you

 

[EricDeem]

Hi Chris...I apologize for the delay in getting you some Genesis samples. The engineers keep stealing my demo printer to perform updates to the machine. I have a long list of people waiting for samples and hopefully I will be able to knock them out soon! I haven't forgot about you

 

[Csipromo]

No problem Eric. We are still printing away with our current equipment for now. Thank you and see you at SGIA.

This machine is still not available???

I swear I saw somewhere that it would launch by October.

Maybe it was October 2016?

 

[mannerski]

On which day of creation is Genesis?

We are starting to add names to the pre-order list. The machine is scheduled to ship to the public before the end of the year.

 

[JeridHill]

Yes, we had slated this for an earlier release. Since we have built everything from ground zero including coding, we've ran into a few situations that slowed us down and a few that took longer than expected. We are currently working on our first production model to test out the manufacturing process and any final tweaks we need before going into full production. I'm not sure people really understand the monumental task we've been working on but it's much greater than taking someone else's technology and using that as a base. This is the way we used to do it, but with the Genesis, we no longer have a reason to use that method. After this product is released, we'll be able to work on more features for it and begin working on future products.

Oh man it's gunna be so awesome, now if I can only scrounge up the 30k, lol.
