Brother Gulf, a subsidiary of Brother Group, Japan, has unveiled its new GT-541 ‘Print on Demand’ garment printer. The unique printer is faster and more efficient compared with traditional screen-printing methods.
The GT-541, which can print images from a PC or built-in compact flash card reader, features an adjustable platen, which holds the garment in place for printing. The printer can print images on most garments in full colour with a large 14-by-16 inch printable area, is simple to operate, and consistently prints in high-resolution quality. Its durable water-based inks can undergo repeated washings and can be cured by a standard heat press, thus eliminating the need for a conveyer dryer. The GT-541 garment printer is ideal for screen and quick printers, one-hour photo shops, event planners, premium suppliers and apparel printing small and medium enterprises.
Shinji Tada, Managing Director, Brother Gulf, said, “We have created a revolutionary garment printer that will allow users to print directly from a PC or flash card, minus the setup intricacies and high costs of traditional screen printing machines. The entire printing and fusing process takes around a minute per garment; this pioneering product thus makes the printing of a few pieces of t-shirts per order economically viable. This is particularly good news for smaller printing shops, who can now accept specialized orders such as corporate gifts regardless of bulk size.”
