Is anyone using a T-Jet printer? I just saw the 2nd version at the ISS show in Long Beach and it’s pretty impressive. Screeners were telling me that the print fades too quick, but it’s hard to tell who’s knocking the competition and who’s being real. It’s pretty dam close to a screen print in quality, but if it does fade out 20% in the first wash, that’s only good if you have a churn & burn market, or the faded look stays in vogue.
Here’s a link to the machine I saw, http://screenprinters.net/product.php?pid=tjetpro&PHPSESSID=49027ad1c602d5ae042ee9f1bfbf7db8, print straight from art, no more burning screens, setting up, messing w/ paint, etc!
I think the next generation, or soon after, will change the whole screening industry! Not to mention a large reduction of heat transfers. Now the companies like Café’ Press will be able to offer one-offs in ink instead of just transfers.
Any take?
