How do u compare your printer with American and Japanese
Comparison of Capability/Price Ratio between APEX DTG printer and American (Anajet) and Japanese (Brother) DTG Printer . 1. PRINT HEAD The print head that Anajet or Brother used on the printer is more inclined to industrial level, that can print faster, but the costs are comparatively higher; while Microtec using Epson print head (same level as Anajet SPRINT series), though the print speed is slightly lower, our M2 can print 3pcs T-shirts (M1 6pcs T-shirts) at a time, which offsets the shortage of low speed on single print per pass. As to the printing quality, it’s almost the same as those printed by industrial level print head. Which means, you can simply get same result with only 1/3 cost (even lower) by purchasing our Apex DTG printer. This will be a good selling point for you and your customers. 2. TEXTILE INK So far, the best textile ink recognized in the industry is the white ink and colorful ink manufactured by Dupont. If you have concern about ink quality, we would suggest you to purchase directly from Dupont local agents. The textile ink used in our DTG printer is imported from Taiwan, which matches our printer perfectly upon continuously testing. Furthermore, the printing effect is nearly same as those printed by Dupont ink, whereas the costs of our inks are more competitive. 3. RIP SOFTWARE The version of RIP software can be different according to the printer design, but it won’t affect the printing quality. 4. EXTRA COSTS It’s well known that these U.S. and Japanese branded companies spent lots of money on marketing and advertising to promote their products. However, these costs are eventually shared in the sale price that customer paid. Base on above mentioned, we are confident that our Apex DGT Printer enjoys higher ROI (=return on investment) than the branded printer.
