Printwear & Promotion The Total Promotional Package
The Brother GTX has been on sale in the UK since September 2017 and sales are growing month by month.
Billed at the next generation of digital DTG printer, the GTX features industrial print heads which contain 1680 nozzles per print head. This allows for prints at 1,200×1,200dpi in a single pass resulting in high quality prints at massproduction level speed.
The GTX’s design stacks the white print head behind the CMYK so when the platen comes out, the design is fully printed. The print driver can be set to pause for a specified length of time between the laydown of the white underbase and colors. This allows for the printing of traditionally difficult fabrics that absorbs more ink.
Users experience less maintenance and downtime due to nozzles clogging with the new white ink circulation system, which keeps the white ink in suspension, and wet capping station that helps eliminate the ink from drying on the bottom of the nozzle plate.
Another plus that increases this new machine’s ROI is the ability to print larger designs on a wide range of substrates. The print area is a generous 16 by 21 inches (40,64cm x 53,34cm), the largest of any Brother DTG machine. As with earlier models, Brother created the GTX print heads to have a large print head-to-substrate gap, that makes it easier than ever to print over seams, pockets, zippers and other challenging products with a maximum thickness of 30mm. In addition to shirts, the GTX can be used to decorate a variety of headwear, shoes, tote bags and bulky apparel such as hoodies and jackets.
Brother DTG also has released a new ink system with the GTX printer. Innobella Textile waterbased pigment inks have a larger color gamut, a very high washability (approved by the AATCC) and are Oeko-Tex Eco-Passport certified and CPSIA compliant.
The Brother GTX is sold in the UK through MHM Direct GB and GS UK.
