the price on the transfer powder machine was around $15k. Hard to justify, but cool nonetheless...
None of the results I saw from any DTG were perfect (thats the nature of off-site DTG), but the M&R looked significantly better than the other hybrids, and Kornit still dominated the standalone machines. Crazy watching them print the same design on a hoodie, then a cotton shirt, then a spandex shirt, etc. The $60k roll up DTG hybrids from MHM and Lawson (and there may have been a third with the exact same machine) were all underwhelming. So much banding and blur, BUT still a step in the right direction when it comes to price and process. The MHM guy was saying they max at around 120 prints an hour vs the 400 from the M&R and the 300ish from the ROQ. biggest benefit of the ROQ was barcode scanning control of on press pretreat and print heads, so you aren't locked into a screenprinted base and can run through a whole days queue of varied SKUs quickly, but they really are competing more with something like a Kornit rather than the hybrids. The fact that it flashes/presses/cures on press is HUGE for throughput.
The epson dye subs were their new ones. I think the show was their introduction. I dont recall the model numbers...
