Anyone use a Flexi-Jet Printer?
I've been looking into purchasing one and heard that they were better than the t-jet ( apparently too many problems).
I've been looking into purchasing one and heard that they were better than the t-jet ( apparently too many problems). Of course, if anyone has had good sucess with the t-jet or another model, I'd really love the imput. I been thinking a lot about purchasing a direct-to-garment printer but for that kind of money, definitely, want to get the right one. If anyone could share I'd appreciate it. Also does anyone know of some companies out there that offer direct-to-garment services. It would be nice to start out with that until I know which one I want to purchase.
As for if it's good for a startup, that's entirely up to you to decide. I have customers that purchased these machines and already are making money on them and are more than satisfied. We used to sell the Flexi-Jet and the master distributor pulled our dealership in favor of selling them all himself along with one other company. It still is a great machine even if we don't sell it anymore. Some of the printers are as follows:
Brother
T-Jet
Flexi-Jet
DTG Kiosk (distributed by SWF)
Mimaki
Kornit
NaturaLink
There are many out there and this isn't all of them. We will be selling another machine soon that is based on the same printer as the Flexi-Jet. This is exciting since I really believe the Flexi-Jet was the best printer on the market for it's cost.
The machine we will be selling is compared to the Flexi-Jet L model, which is the larger of the 2 models available. The price with 2 platens on the Flexi-Jet L is $19,000 whereas the machine we will be selling is only $13,500. (This is not a sales post, only an informative post of what we will be doing and the price factor people are looking at in getting involved in DTG Printing.)
I did not list the machine yet because we want to make sure we have them in stock or close to it before advertising. Before the Flexi-Jet came out, I believe the Brother was probably the best printer on the market. The problem with the Brother's machine is it doesn't nor will it ever print white inks. Even though the quality is excellent and the speeds are great, $20,000 for a machine that will never print white is pretty steep, in my opinion.
So the bottom line is, this technology is great for a startup because it really turns heads. The main question is, what do you have funds available for. Some people's idea of a startup is under $500 - $1,000 while others can and are willing to spend thousands of dollars.

Customer Testimonials
Garment Printer Ink,
Wanted to take some time to say Thank You. When I first bought my Anajet Direct to Garment Printer. I was excited about being able to increase my Sales thus increase my Profits. However, over the course of time I started to notice that I was not making any real money. Sure the orders were coming in but I was spending a fortune on ink. Which ultimately was killing my profits and pocket book. When I called Anajet about lowering their prices they would not work with me. That is when I researched and found Garment Printer Ink. I contacted GPI and explained to them that I was hesitant about purchasing ink and using it in my printer. Needless to say after I purchased some ink cartridges and pretreatment I am completely SATISFIED! The ink and pretreatment I received from GPI was the exact same that I had been purchasing from Anajet and now I'm able to be way more Profitable! Since purchasing my supplies from GPI, I have not experienced a single problem. Thanks for all the support and GREAT Customer Service. Any time I've placed an order you have always shipped it out that same day and have had no problems receiving my shipments. Thanks once again!
