Innovative Sydney developer/manufacturer Impression Technology will release a new DTG Digital M3 direct-to-garment printer at Fespa 2016 in Amsterdam. The M3 supplements the current M-series range and offers more productive garment printing workflows with an average 30% productivity increase.
“We wanted to increase the speed and simplify the user interface to make the new M3 into something that printers will find far easier to maintain and operate,” said Steve Richardson, CEO of Impression Technology, manufacturers of the DTG digital range. “With a rise in volume digital print demands from our customer base, we felt we needed to respond and offer more productive equipment within an acceptable capital investment bracket.”
DGT Digital is well known for its direct-to-garment printers, with over 8000 installations to date.
“Customers want to print volume orders reliably,” said Richardson. “We have worked hard to bring about what we believe is the most rugged printer with far less maintenance at a better price point in the market. We know what is needed by printers and this is the core difference with DTG Digital and the reason we are the most trusted brand globally. I’m very confident that printers will adopt the M3 as a breath of fresh air and continue the legacy which is the DTG M-series range.”
The M3 includes a number of new features. An new Garment platen system made up of 3 sets of 4-2-1 platens allows prints to 3 x XXXXL oversized garments, 6 x standard garments or 12 x smaller garments in one system, thus reducing the need for multiple platens in production and utilising the maximum field space of 1150mm x 650mm to its full capacity. The 4-2-1 platen system drastically increases flexibility and productivity allowing more opportunities for profit making volume print production requirements.
The M3 will be available on limited release through www.dtgdigital.com
