that's some seriously nasty stuff to eat through a container.
Just found out we can lease the Brother GT-381 for $300/month incl service and repairs if needed , that`s over a 5 year period.
How did I miss this topic? Here is my take...Brother...hands down the best. The machines are simple, designed to be garment printers and don't cost a fortune. They are also insanely reliable.Kornit printers are great as well, they are just too much money.I would like to see what heads Epson is using, because I would NEVER buy a printer with Epson heads out of a 4800 or a standard series inkjet. They aren't meant to print such heavily pigmented inks and you will have problems...especially with white.That being said, with dark garments, most of your troubles come from pretreating. this is the reason we got the Viper XPT, it's easy to control and has settings out the wazoo.The Viper One is a good option as well...i thought about going this route and later adding the XPT for dark garments and using the One for lights/polyester. Instead I will add the One later.All of my new DTG goodies should be here in about a week...I am STOKED!!!!!I am working on a new pricelist for contract DTG that includes dark garments, let me know and I will get one out to you. I might wait to send it until I can do a little bit of testing on the numbers once we run it a little bit.
Any good chinese printer.

For the 381 I think 500 plus.So check.Shane
Brother originally recommended the Lawson, they no longer do. I would got Viper XPT...i've heard nothing but good things about it...the Viper One probably isn't the way to go.
