Brother Introduces New Ink Jet Garment Printer
Sunday 14th of October 2007 02:32:20 AM
Brother International Corporation recently introduced its new ink jet garment printer at various Latino Heritage Month events as a way to break into the expanding Latino textile market in the US. The new printer, called the GT-541, is easy to use, cost effective, and uses water-based ink that is cured using a heat press. Because the ink dries quickly, conveyor driers are not necessary. By saving space and using less ink, those in the t-shirt printing and textiles industries will be able to manufacture their products faster and for less money.“The industry is literally lining up to bring the GT-541 into their businesses. Brother is the only manufacturer developing this technology that has field tested their printer for over one year at embroidery and screen printing businesses. We placed twenty-nine units and imprinted more than 100,000 shirts in a real-world setting to make sure we delivered the quality and durability we projected," said Peter Holland, Senior Director.
In addition to their latest ink jet garment printer, Brother also manufactures embroidery machines, sewing machines, and software. Because the Latino textile market is growing, Brother chose to market its latest printer to those who want to go into business for themselves.
"We want to close the gap in technology among Latino screen printers and introduce the latest technology to people who aspire to opening their own business. We are introducing this new technology as part of a test market to give the Latino Textile industry – and the community at large – an introduction of the businesses possibilities of owning the GT-541 a technology that is more efficient and less expensive to operate than traditional screen printing and that is currently revolutionising the costly screen printing industry," said Fernando Padilla, a Brother International distributor in Southern California.

Good all round. Will order again.
the chance to review the image is great for checking everything over one last time before printing. the time between reviewing the print and delivery was another positive, taking only a couple of days. my friends were really pleased with the finished items. unfortunately i was out when the courier called. he didn't note the date or time of his attempted delivery on his card and he hadn't filled in when or if he would attempt delivery again. on repeatedly phoning the company on a friday between 4:50 and 6 i got no answer. i then tried again on the monday morning, but once again i got no answer. after phoning clothes2order they resolved everything. i realise this is outwith the control of clothes2order, but it soured an otherwise excellent service.
