    Brother 541 Empty Brother 541

    Post  GreenBarnPromotions Tue Jun 09, 2009 3:21 pm

    I have had my Brother 541 for about 2 months now, and let me tell you, it was worth EVERY penny. We have printed approximately 2000 shirts on it, and it has performed perfectly.

    The only limitation is that it does not print white ink, so you can't print black shirts with it, but really, it's just an education process with the customer to tell them they really want a lighter color.

    This machine truly does make smaller print runs more profitable, and opens up numerous doors.

    Brother 541 Empty Anajet

    Post  Marti Thu Jun 18, 2009 7:31 am

    We purchased an Anajet DTG in April. It prints on both light and dark colors. Like any other piece of equipment there is a period of learning the equipment. We love the Anajet because it gives more choices to our customers. The Brother is a great DTG printer. The person who use to do our DTG printing has a Brother and always did a great job for us.
    We did a lot of research of DTG printers available. As far as we know we are the only DTG printer in our area to be able to offer printing on dark shirts which we believe gives us a great advantage in our business. We are doing more DTG printing now than any thing else. Maybe we have finally found a profitable nich for our company.

    Hey Marti,

    I agree 100% on the ability to print on dark colored shirts being an advantage. As I mentioned, we currently have the Brother 541 and it only prints on light colored shirts. It is definitely a limitation, and will ultimately impact our profitability. We are currently waiting on our DTG distributor to get their hands on some of the new Brother printers, the 782. This printer will handle two shirts at a time, and will be able to print on darks.

    Glad to hear you've found a profitable niche, I think we are right there with you!

    Josh,
    Good luck with the 782 and hope you will be able to get it soon. I know it will be a great boost for you.
