Pigment.Inc, Sydney, now offers a range of printer, pretreatment and software solutions for garment printing at a technology event in the company’s European headquarters in the Netherlands.
The new DTG G4 garment printer and automated pre-treat module uses a new industrial print-head array, with more nozzles and up to 1,200 dpi native resolutions. The product is planned to be released in January 2019 at Viscom Germany, and it has already been tested at beta sites in Australia, Japan, Malaysia and the United States.
“Our customers, along with the DTG process, have matured greatly in the past 10 years — so we have looked at a compact, all-industrial printer design that focuses on speed and reliability for extended shift manufacturing,” says Jerry Erich, the sales and marketing director at Impression Technology, Manufacturing.
The DTG G4 range will be powered by a new RIP, which will deliver increased colors through job automation featuring a 16GB on-board memory and 7-inch touch display. It also features patented quick-load vacuum platens that remove the need for tucking or hooping. — D.S.
