Testimonials:
“We use our Brother direct-to-garment printer more than any other machine in the store. The 25 percent cost savings alone was enough of an incentive to try Sawgrass inks. The results have been fabulous! We couldn’t be more pleased – from the ease of change over to the color output. I am recommending Sawgrass’ NaturaLink-B to all of my EmbroidMe friends.”
"I have been using NaturaLink-B on my Brother GT-541 printer and I am very pleased with the switch from the Brother ink. I am saving money with NaturaLink-B, the prints are just as good as those using the Brother ink, and I see no difference in the performance of the printer."
“Using Sawgrass Technologies’ NaturaLink-B I have printed more than 2,000 items so far (T-shirts, tote bags, polo shirts). I am using less ink than with the original Brother ink, and the NaturaLink-B’ colors are richer and, after several washes, they remain true to color a bit longer than Brother’s. I am very pleased with these results, especially when NaturaLink-B has not affected my printer performance.”

"I have been using NaturaLink-B on my Brother GT-541 printer with excellent results. I find the colors to be dead-on, with excellent wash-fastness. The printer performance and reliability remain unaltered, and, best of all, I save money every day with NaturaLink-B. I am very satisfied with the switch to NaturaLink-B."

“I have printed more than 10,000 items so far using Sawgrass Technologies’ NaturaLink-B on my Brother GT-541 printer and . It was initially a price-based decision, and I am very happy with the switch. I haven’t ordered any Brother ink since. NaturaLink-B runs as well as Brother’s, the colors are as good, but the yellow is better, and the wash test results are also better. I am also very happy with the on-line ordering feature, and Sawgrass shipping department does a phenomenal job. I am very pleased overall.”

Using NaturaLink® in your Brother® or Epson-based DTG Printer
* Brother is a registered trademark of Brother International Corporation, and GT-541 is property of Brother®. Epson is a unit of Seiko Epson Corporation, Stylus is a registered trademark of Epson, and all other names and symbols are the property of the respective entities.

Q: What is NaturaLink®?
A: NaturaLink is a DTG (Direct to Garment) ink is designed to replicate Brother® International's ink for its GT-541 garment printer. NaturaLink Cartridges are a water-based pigment ink, environmentally friendly, and with high performance properties.
Q: Why should I buy this ink?
A: You will save money lot's of MONEY, while sacrificing nothing in return. Indeed, you have everything to gain and nothing to lose. You will obtain similar and, in some cases (such as wash fastness) better performance at a lower cost. NaturaLink ink creates a direct chemical bond with the cotton fibers in your garment, so there is no hand left behind, while yielding rich, vibrant colors that last. This chemical bond enables the garment to stand up to multiple washes, resulting in superior wash fastness. In addition, the ink was designed to be both environmentally (it is water based) and chemically friendly to you and your printer. The unparalleled stability of NaturaLink provides for superior printer performance and reduced downtime.
Q: Why are Brother GT-541 owners switching NaturaLink-B from Garmentprinterink.com?

Q: Can I install NaturaLink directly in my Brother® GT-541 printer?
A: Yes. NaturaLink B was developed specifically for your Brother® GT-541 printer. As a result, you may simply replace an empty Brother® cartridge with a new one containing NaturaLink B without concern. You are unlikely to notice performance differences, except for an improved wash-fastness.
Q: Can Brother® or Epson® void my warranty if I use a third-party ink?
A: No. In the United States, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act of 1975, as well as the Sherman and Clayton Antitrust Acts that precede it, stipulate that a manufacturer cannot void your warranty for using third-party ink or cartridges. It is thus against US law for a printer manufacturer to void your warranty. Warrantors cannot require that only branded parts be used with the product in order to retain the warranty. This is commonly referred to as the "tie-in sales" provisions, and is frequently mentioned in the context of third-party computer parts, such as memory and hard drives.

Q: What are the differences between NaturaLink and other DTG inks?
A: This question demands a two-part answer. (1) There is no difference in color rendition, or chemical behavior that your printer can detect, between NaturaLink and the Brother ink. (2) There is no difference in chemical behavior that your Epson-based printer can detect, but NaturaLink's color gamut is different from that of DuPont ink. (2) There are differences in performance and price—NaturaLink yields an improved wash fastness at a lower price.
Q: What about curing?
A: There is no difference in the curing parameters between NaturaLink B and Brother ink, but the curing parameters for NaturaLink E differ from those of DuPont ink . Cure your printed image in your standard heat press at 360° F for 35 seconds with medium pressure (40 psi) for NaturaLink B, but at 375° F for 25 seconds with medium pressure (40 psi) for NaturaLink E and DA.
Q: What is the shelf life of this ink?
A: NaturaLink can be stored safely in a standard office environment (60 - 80° F, 40 – 60% R.H.) for up to 12 months.
Q: Will I save money with this ink?
A: Yes, your printing cost will be lower.
