Finally...High Volume Direct-to-Garment
Printing is Here!
The problem with inkjet direct printing garments in a high volume shop is that
inkjet printers don’t have an easy method of throughput. Traditional systems
have no way of moving shirts around without sacrificing print speed. We
have taken our over 35 years of Screen Printing experience and developed a
unique, patent pending method of printing shirts using a specially designed
printing bed with a circular conveyor system to easily move shirts, cut pieces,
or “units” fromthe exit end of the printer back to the input end.
In fact, this system works with only TWO unskilled operators and a
small footprint compared to a traditional screen printing shop!
Printing has never been easier. Simply dropthe images into pre-
donetemplates inFastARTIST and press theRIP button. Most
images ripin less thanfiveminutes. Print!
You are ingoodhands with theFast T-Jet PRO. Why?
Bec aus e it is based on the popular DuPont Artistr i 2020 roll-to-roll textile printer used
around the world. In fact there are over 150 Artistri 2020 machines installed!
U.S. Screen Print & Inkjet Technology has an exclusive license with DuPont to be able to
modify and sell this machine exclusively for T-Shirt and piece goods applications.
The modifications took over 8 months to engineer and test and include precise raising of
all the head carriages, capping stations and key systems, and the design of a patent
pending garment moving conveyor with aerospace quality s hirt beds that can be leveled
individually. Other major modifications include a complete belt reinforcing structure and
com plex changes to the “plumbing” to incorporate the use of white ink. The printer has a
system of monitoring the white ink and s tirring it every few hours to k eep it from settling.
The total modification parts list totals ov er 200 individual pieces and takes 100 man hours
to install and test by U.S. Screen’s DuPont certified tec hnical staff.
Special software was developed to create the proper underbase files for printing on dark
shirts and to c olor calibr ate the machine for printing on jersey knit garments.
This is NOT a standard Artistri 2020 printer. This is the Fast T-Jet PRO designed by
garment decorating expert Scott Fresener and the staff of U.S. Screen.
Optional fully automated conveyor system.
