tgriffith94 0 Posted April 8, 2010 I DO VINYL CUTTING AND HAVE DONE REAL WELL WITH HEAT TRANSFER SHIRTS BUT I HAVE RECENTLY BECOME INTERESTED IN DTG PRINTING. I'M CONSIDERING A T JET BLAZER EXPRESS. I CAN BUY FACTORY REFURBISHED FOR A REASONABLE PRICE. I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAD ANY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS TYPE OF MACHINE OR DTG IN GENERAL. THANKS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
midwaste 4 Posted April 8, 2010 See here: http://www.t-shirtforums.com/direct-garment-dtg-inkjet-printing/t45383.html There are forums and sub-forums for each type of machine at the t-shirt forums. I recommend you read extensively before you drop the cash on a machine. If I am not mistaken, the company that was producing T-jets went out of business last year. I had heard there were several people planning to buy the excess inventory for parts and provide service. I looked into it, and it doesn't make sense for what I do. It's expensive, slow, and serves a niche market. I'm sure there are many people making money with mall kiosks and such, but IMO, the cost and maintenance headaches just don't make it worth it. If I really had the market for full color one-off shirts, I'd do sublimation or inkjet transfers. Sublimation is equal or better in quality, IMO and cheaper.
