Brother is releasing a game changer

[GraphicDisorder]

That, my friend, could be a nightmare!

Zero desire to deal with that shiz until they are way more consistent.  I have seen people with the brother with similar complaints.

They are simply not there yet.

My good friend back in Boston has followed DTG since it's birth. He was one of if not the first person in Boston to buy the Brother 541. Last time I asked he's on head #4 with over 500k prints on it 

He's been following the white on darks for many years just waiting for it be good enough for him. He takes files to shows for test prints and after years of waiting, he bought the Kornit Breeze this year and loves it.

I have seen the GraffiTee GT-381 in action (the model with 4 white heads) at their booth and all I can say is WOW!  The garment decor supply company, Axiom America, has the GraffiTee available for preorder now, including an option to get a $500 rebate.  I went ahead and put my deposit in because I have a feeling these things are going to go on back-order within a month of release due to their quality, speed, price and the growing publicity.

I called them last week and they were very helpful in answering my questions.  The NEW GraffiTee will NOT use the same cartridges as the GT-541 and GT-782 for those wondering.  Axiom America says they will have video of the GraffiTee up very soon.

Oh, and to confirm from Blue Moon's post, they have indeed done away with RIP, and you can even run your prints from a thumb drive with no PC connected on this new unit.

Was fortunate to see the new Brother at the ISS show. Impressed with how it prints white and color with one pass. I can see this DTG printer replacing the GT541 and GT782 models.

I know they are dropping the 541.  I would imagine they are dropping the 782 as well, but I don't know for sure.

Yeah, both models are discontinued.  The GraffiTee is now their exclusive line of garment printers.  It uses the same white ink formula in a new cartridge, and the color inks have been reformulated, and is also in a new style cartridge.  No word yet on ink prices but new information, images, and video are going up every day.

This is where I preordered and the most definitive information source I have found:
