GJS installs first Brother GTX garment printer with Das T-Shirt Automat

"Our philosophy has always been to deliver an exceptional-quality printed product, no matter if our customers are ordering a single shirt at one of our storefronts, or having 200 designs created," said Ed Redman, co-founder, Das T-Shirt Automat. "By investing in the latest direct-to-garment technology, not only can we continue to deliver on this philosophy, but we can also speed up production and increase our output," Ed added.

The GTX features Brother’s next-generation printheads that deliver incredibly fast print speeds at a constant 1200x1200 dpi whilst maintaining one-pass printing for all print sizes and with a new maximum print size of 40.64 x 53.54cm, the GTX has the largest print area of any Brother DTG printer ever.

Brother's newly developed Innobella Textil Inks deliver a 30 percent wider colour gamut than the GTX’s predecessor, delivering stronger purples, blues and pinks and with the inclusion of 800mb of onboard memory that allows the operator to store up to 100 designs in the printer itself, the GTX can be operated without a PC or USB if needed.

“We have never seen such interest and appetite for a new printer than what we have seen with the GTX," said Greg Stone, managing director, GJS. “What this demonstrates is that the Australian market is at a level of education and maturity with direct-to-garment technology where it will continue to seek out and embrace newer technology, which at the end of the day is a win for end-users and consumers,” Greg added.
