Will someone please share their experience and process of changing and buying ink for this specific printer? The website says you can print up to 4000 copies. 4000 shirts sound like a lot of prints but is that true? How much do the cartridges cost? It's not very clear anywhere (even the product website), unless I have missed something.

hi, thanks for the video. i'd like to open my own business: - it's good for a beginners that want to start his own business in this field? - it's ideal for print high definition photo/drawing with dimension a bit more bigger than A4? - I must use just t-shirt "cotton 100%" and I Could use t-shirt of different color (white, black and others colors)? thanks.

A few questions. What if you have a small item like a bib or onesie that won’t hang over the side of the tray to be locked down? I’m wondering approximately how many prints you can get out of the ink cartridges on average? You mention “light” colors; would that include like light pink, blue, yellow, etc.?

@armstrong1634 3 жыл бұрын

The tray that comes with the printer is A4 size but you can get an A5 which is half the size for smaller items. Light colored shirts are best for multi colored designs. But you can print black and darker colors on a red or blue shirt. I have printed yellow on a blue shirt. It did come out with a greenish shade but looked better with an overprint.

It is all done in the software and depends where you place the item on the tray. Check out all of our DTG tutorials here: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/search/label/direct%20to%20garment

The price of replacement ink cartridges whether you use this dtg or a sawgrass sub printer are expensive and in my opinion a bit of a rip off. I was shocked at how quickly the cartridges needed replaced. For any small producer if you want to try sublimation get an Epson ecotank a4 for less than £200 or an a3 for £500/600.Buy good sub ink by the litre and it will last you for ages.Just make sure you get an ICC profile for your printer and you will print anything as good as sawgrass To sub cotton there are polymer coatings out there that will give good results. Just saying.....

The big Question is how long do shirts last, and/or begin to show fading. The info says 20, is that enough to feel comfortable selling stuff to people knowing they are getting a quality shirt? I am seriously asking, I don't know. I am looking to invest in something however htv paper feels horrible imho, vinyl takes a long time to do (for my stuff), and I see tons of transfer issues on the white toner facebook pages, the BN-20 seems like a nice option (albeit slow I hear) however they are backordered until april 21...This seems like it has promise for light garments, however most DTG needs pretreated for a reason, so I am skeptical about longevity. Thanks for the info.

@armstrong1634 3 жыл бұрын

If the shirt is for short term use then its 100% but if my clients are going to be using them for long term use I just do an over print. The colours are way more vibrant and last a lot longer and the inks are very affordable as far as DTG goes. I also have a Roland SP300i and I have tried various heat transfers, but I hate the feel of HTV and all the weeding so I only do HTV on dark garments. This is so efficient and quick. From loading the cassette to finished product in less than 10 minutes a shirt with an over print.

@joanaazevedo2937 2 жыл бұрын

What's an over print? Do you print twice and then put it in the oven?

@armstrong1634 2 жыл бұрын

@@joanaazevedo2937 Yes, You put the cassette with shirt in the printer and as soon as it finishes the first print just tell it to print one more and it will do the overprint. Then put it in the oven.
