Japan's Brother Introduces First DTG GTX600 for Mass Production
Brother Industries Ltd., a Japanese company engaged in the production of industrial sewing machines, printers and multi-function-center machines, has announced that the GTX family is getting even bigger with its GTX600. Available from January 2022, GTX600 will be the first direct-to-garment (DTG) printer designed especially for mass production.
With the GTX600, a new bulk machine, the company was able to create exactly this, a machine that is setting new standards and that is easy to operate.
Brother Industries said in a press release: “For your mass production b.usiness, you need equipment that you can rely on 100 percent, that can meet the dual challenges of high-quality design reproduction and industrial level activity. That is why we have been working closely with major producers to meet the high standards of mass production. To keep the ink in a print-ready state, the GTX600 has ink recirculation in four key areas.
We developed 16 ink channels jetting from staggered, industrial print heads with internal cooling fans, for continuous print operation. Also, the ink is constantly filtered and degassed to guarantee you the best possible print quality up to 1200dpi. The built-in humidifier ensures that the machine always has perfect working conditions, even in difficult environments and big production halls,” the release added.
The GTX600 can be used with different platens for endless creative possibilities, the platens can be changed quickly to save important time and their height is auto selectable which makes them adapted for any material that can be printed on.
With the GTX600, the company has developed our technologies further, the printing speed has been increased, and also the industrial maintenance station got upgraded to enable continuous and fast print operations.
The auto cleaning frequency is much less than any printer before, which increases the real print productivity drastically.
With the wet capping and inside ink print head circulating technology, ink waste gets reduced; also for the GTX600 the inks are available in 9l and new 18l tanks, to help reduce packaging waste. Speaking of ink, the innobella textile inks are water-based, GOTS6 approved, and Oeko-tex passport certified, and therefore eco-friendly. Furthermore, the GTX600 has a built-in mist filter, which ensures a secure working environment for the operator.
Benefits of DTGDirect to garment printing (DTG) uses inkjet printing technology to send full-color designs directly from a computer to a digital printer with a garment loaded into it. With minimal training or experience, you can use our DTG printers to create high-quality printed garments at production-level speeds. Say goodbye to labor-intensive processes and say hello to technology: faster output; easy customization; flexible quantities; and expanded product offerings.
