I bought this printer because of how incredible the test videos were on YouTube. Then I saw the TexJet Plus Advanced Direct printing the cover of The Killing Joke and was blown away by the fine details and just how crisp that white base layer was. I watched dozens of videos over the period of a few weeks and couldn’t fault the power of this machine. I spent months testing different printing techniques to try and improve upon the quality, but eventually I’d reached the point where I genuinely couldn’t get any better results, and I was happy. My technique also comes with the printer – I’ll write full instructions on the entire process, and will give you everything that I used. The DuPont/Polyprint pre-treat that Amaya and Polyprint recommends is good, but it can leave a residue, doesn’t have a soft enough touch, and the ink will start to flake within 6-12 months depending on how often the garment is washed, despite what DuPont/Polyprint says! I tested a handful of pre-treat liquids and the one I use leaves no residue whatsoever, has a soft touch, and I’m still wearing shirts that I printed more than two years ago. This does mean that the printer has been sitting dormant for a year, and although it boot up fine this morning and two head-cleans later was printing CMYK perfectly, but the white ink wasn’t coming through. My guess is that, because it contains titanium powder, the white ink has clogged the ink lines. But it’s also possible that flushing the system would clear any blockage – it’s just easier, quicker, and less messy to just replace the ink assembly than flush it. In the meantime, you’ll still be able to print on white garments using CMYK, just not dark garments as those require a white base layer. You’re also welcome to collect in person if you’d prefer. WHY THE LOW PRICE? Mainly because I’ve been waiting to sell it for the past year but couldn’t do so until the finance was clear, and now I want to get my office space back!
