Brother now offers the GTX R2R printer for creating DTF transfers. The roll-to-roll DTF solution is designed for high-volume printing and maximum productivity with little operator involvement, according to the company.
Features include two industrial printheads with eight Brother Innobella Textile ink channels (CMYK in one and four white inks in the other), an industrial maintenance station with a wet capping system that keeps white ink flowing, an adhesive powder circulation system with a built-in ionizer, and an infrared curing station with a take-up roll device. The maximum roll size is 16 inches. The High Speed print mode allows for up to 65 percent faster printing speed over Standard print mode.
The GTX R2R printer is bundled with Digital Factory Apparel Direct-to Film-Edition software, which includes file prep, color management, and automated production tools.
According to Brother, multiple designs can be printed on a single sheet for smaller applications such as a pocket design or sleeve. The printer is applicable with polyester, synthetics, and other temperature-sensitive fabrics that are not ideal for DTG.
Two sizes are available: The GTXpro R2R is made for small to medium shops and the GTXPro B R2R is designed for higher volume output using bulk inks. Both machines come with a two-year limited warranty and a one-year bumper-to-bumper warranty from Brother.
