DTG Printers

[Stitch Up]

Hi Guys, what’s the durability like on dtg? Does the print fade after a few washes and do you always have to print in high quality to get a decent print?

[LEFT]These t-shirts have just come out of the washing machine for the umpteenth time. They were printed on the All American stand at FESPA, Munich, June 2010 - I know, I was working on that stand [/LEFT]

They were printed on the original NeoFlex, with DuPont Artistri inks and DuPont pre-treatment.

9 years on, they're still vibrant and showing no degradation in the print.

I'm afraid they're a little crinkly at present as I've just hung them out to dry.[/LEFT]

Logobear, did you have one from an Epson 2100 and if so how did that fair?

[Stitch Up]

No, they weren't heard of 9 years ago

My NeoFlex is still going strong 9 years on.

best results generally from Brother, - Epson was ok , - great when new, aged reasonably ok, - but not as well as the brother

Which DTG printer do you use Logobear and which inks/pretreatment?

[logobear]

not dtging yet ....

Remember, - cannot DTG onto polyester ....

That is the only thing keeping me out of the DTG market, at the moment. There have been some poly pre-treats on the market, with variable results. The Kornit Poly pro apparently works well, but for half a million quid it should do.

I have most faith in Epson in getting a viable poly dtg machine to the market - when they set their mind to it. They usually get things right eventually.

DTG printing is NOT for the feint hearted! Especially those that use white ink!

The printers require so much attention.

I have a love hate relationship with mine!

what about these Ricoh Ri 1000 printers?

does anyone have one and what a real life conditions like day to day, not showroom sales..many thanks

I’m thinking if I need some then I’ll enlist the services of someone like snuggle to print them as don’t have the market time or space for one currently I think they are something you need to dedicate yourself to developing the market for and getting them used regularly so they stand a chance of paying for themselves
