I'm sure it's cool, but the music made me shut it off after a minute and a half.

Pretty slow. You wouldn't want to have 50 shirts to do in a hurry.

Nice! Really nice...This has been long overdue. It seems that others in the industry have produced pretty much the same thing, but then turned around and sold it for $10,000...Thanks for doing this.

there have been others that have done the same thing. the parts list is a few hundred dollars to around a grand including the printer.

it is a good exercise in showing that it can be done but on the other hand how much time do you want to put into something like this for what you get out of it?

we purchased a dtg printer and after making several modifications to it we finally got it to work pretty good but it does not replace screen printing. it does give the ability to produce short runs and photo images.

the cost to print on darks is still high because of the cost of the white ink and the amount of time to prep the shirt and print it. again, still not a replacement for screen printing but does give an option for very short runs and one offs if someone wants to pay $20/shirt.
