Direct to Garment Printing - I've gone and done it!

John, I'm always lost for words when I see the work you do. Hope it goes ok from now on.

So do I BUT ..... the brand new printhead I fitted in September is now knackered! Oh joy, another £360 down the drain.

Ian, I just wish i had more time, my day job is just hideous at the moment and most of the problems I experience with DTG machinery is the consequence of lack of use.

PS. I don't get notifications of replies anymore - so if I'm slow in responding .......... and when I edit a post, I can't save the changes! Has something gone quirky?

So sorry to hear about all your problems at the moment John & hope things turn a corner for you soon. I get the impression that you need to be running the Neoflex every day to avoid the problems you've had.

Who said DTG printing is trouble free?

After a month of downtime, we're back up and running again Had a weird error popping up on the display each time we switched on. I'm getting to be an expert at DTG problem solving and, in a way, it gives me some confidence in sorting out any problem. As always, All American were spot on with their diagnosis.

Anyway, here's the first printed shirt off the press Not my design but very colourful:



The RIP software is such an important component.

And when your embroidery machine breaks down, the NeoFlex comes in handy

Not a good pattern as I was only messing. This is a print on a shirt not embroidery.


Just a little better

Well very impressive, the eye sees embroidery and not a flat print.

As any of you will know, I have ZERO flair for design. I sometimes question if I really know what I actually like and don't like!!!

So, with St. Patrick's Day on the horizon I wanted to produce a t-shirt to commemorate the occasion. Several other owners of the NeoFlex DTG printer are really good at design and one of them created what I think is a nice design

Here it is, printed and 'modelled' by Angie - I might put it on eBay!!!



I'll try and take a better picture

John, as always that looks amazing & I think you could be onto a winner selling them on Ebay. :biggrin:

Great irish design and love the embroidery style ones, they look very realistic.
