Impression Technology’s DTG printer a success in Europe

Australian company Impression Technology’s new DTG Digital G4 direct-to-garment printer has been well received in Europe, with 12 new distributors receiving demonstration equipment, stock and factory training and a reported 28 units shipped since its launch in FESPA in May.

With early installations already underway in Europe, the DTG G4 has equally exceeded expectations through an increase in production and lower running costs. The company believes the DTG G4 will become a benchmark for all levels of DTG production required in Europe for Apparel wholesale/retail, Internet fulfilment, and Manufacturers .

The DTG Digital G4 garment printer establishes a new standard for professional direct prints for all finished garments and fashion panels. Designed and produced by DTG Digital (a division of Impression Technology), the G4 was developed to be the most affordable Industrial DTG printer in this market segment. It delivers speed, performance and quality prints with unprecedented trouble free operation.

 The DTG G4 features four Industrial next generation print heads that deliver incredibly fast print speeds at either 600 or 1200 dpi while maintaining immaculate prints for even the largest garments with a 40 x 50cm print size. 

Coupled with this, the newly formulated G4 Textile Ink produces a wider colour gamut than the DTG’s predecessors, delivering stronger purples, blues, yellows and the deepest Black we have seen from any DTG Printer.

Workflow improvements will soon be realised with the imminent release of the retrofit-able QLVP platen system (Quick Load Vacuum Platen). The industry’s first rapid garment reload system. This Patented vacuum reload system eliminates hooping and tucking and centres shirts for spot-on prints in zero time. An operator can literally change the garment and have the machine ready for the next print within five seconds.

An optional PTM auto pre–treat machine is also available from Pigment.Inc – built by DTG Digital and designed to partner with the DTG G4 – Shirts are coated with low cost accurate pre-treat in an enclosed spray chamber, rounding out the whole production cycle efficiently.

“Our customers are consistently telling us that the workflow improvements from the PTM and G4 DTG system comfortably achieves 55-plus light shirts and up to 32 large prints on dark garments per hour,” Jerry Erich, DTG global products manager.

It seems that this productivity meets the demands for small and medium print shops and enables them to make a return on their investment.

Additionally, the G4 is scalable and supported with web to print automation for larger fulfilment and internet sales companies”
