Objective
Zipt were researching and searching around for a t shirt printing and customised clothing company in London. They had the direct objective of finding a printing company that had the ability to direct to garment (DTG) digital print over zips, a service that other companies fail to offer. They were impressed by our ability to meet their specialised printing needs on their customised t shirts in London. DTG digital printing over zips on garments is a very specialised service that many London DTG digital printing companies do not have the expertise or the proper equipment to execute.
Solution:
Garment Printing was able to meet Zipt's DTG digital printing requirements because we possess the leading industry knowledge as well as the most sophisticated and state-of-the-art DTG digital printing equipment currently on the market. Many competitors and most commercial t shirt printing and customised clothing companies in London and the United Kingdom do not have access to the equipment that we use. Our DTG digital printer fleet consists of the highest quality printing machines, each with their own specific capabilities. They are the Brother GT-541, GT-782, and the Kornit Breeze 921. For the Zipt order we found that our Brother GT-782 DTG digital printer was the most capable of the machines to handle printing over the zips on the high quality cotton garments provided by the customer. DTG digital printers have very sensitive printer heads and nozzles. Often a common problem found with DTG digital printers is that gases penetrate inks and disrupt printer head nozzles. Our DTG digital printers use vacuum-packed cartridges with degassed ink that combats this issue.
The Brother GT-782 boasts the ability to print onto dark garments. Its dual platen increases productivity as well as its 8 Brother inkjet heads and dual gantry for fast printing throughput. It uses CMYK and white ink. The Brother GT-782 prints both white and coloured inks concurrently, making it ideal for high volume DTG digital printing orders.
Results:
The end results of the Zipt order were high quality DTG digital printed t shirts with vibrantly coloured artwork directly printed over the zips without any interference to the design. Our customer was extremely satisfied with the quality of the print job.
