really good overview of the new EPSON F3070 printer
blue moon:
I should say, 100 for contract, 50 for retail...

I'm looking at this set up from a different point of view. I'm tired of looking for GOOD employees and spending time to train them to leave. The younger generation (I'm 39 so I mean 20 year olds) are not looking to learn printing or embroidery. I think it would be much easier and more to their liking to train them in DTG. I also believe this unit could replace one of my autos. I do run a fair amount of process but the majority of my work is spot color (White plus a color or two). I finally got some samples of some repeat spot color jobs i do on a regular that I would feel comfortable with selling. Anyhow; I think it would be much easier to train someone on this machine versus an auto. I also believe one person with this set up could produce more than 2 or 3 on an auto working on 12-48 piece runs of 1 to 5 colors. Just my 2 cents.

PS In my situation Print on Demand would just be a bonus

Exactly. Well put. And the foot print is smaller. Plus another auto needs a lot of screens to feed. And reclaim. Most younger people do not want to that. It is not tech nor glamorous

Even as a smaller shop, I think I can justify replacing my manual with this. Won't pull the trigger yet since I'd like to see how reliable it ends up being and how consistent it prints. I'd love to just keep a 6 color auto around for larger 1-3 color print runs and do the majority of the smaller orders and full color stuff on 1 of these things. The time saved on processing and reclaiming screens would be worth it. Less ink mixing, less time registering screens. I'm more than willing to deal with a learning curve on prepping art for one of these printers. Definitely keep us posted! I'd love to see a long term review.
