Yea, I think a heat press may be necessary for heat pressing the pretreatment down before printing on dtg. Without the heat press, the fibers don't get push down for a vibrate print.

think I gotta do more research before ordering. try to look up reviews on the omniprint and all the reviews that i come across look pretty staged and fake. all of them have that fake vibe/language to it like you see on commercials and all of the reviewers only have 1 review making it suspicious... also it is suspicious that the inks are either equal to or more than half the ink cost of other companies. there has to be a reason, things arent cheap for no reason.

whats your guys' thought on this? how did you find the confidence in the dtg printer you guys ended up buying. i dont know who to trust lol

Frog:
Have you been to an industry show where you can see a variety of equipment to better compare head to head?

ericheartsu:
Who is using the omniprint? And is anyone using the pretreat they make too?

there are 3 common options
kornit - expensive
brother gtx - faster economy option nice prints
epson f2100 - slow economy, good warranty

everything else... can't vouch for it, wouldn't touch it.
