Brother Unveils New DTG Printer at SGIA 2011

November 04, 2011

Brother Intl. Corp., Bridgewater, N.J., offered a sneak peek of its new digital garment printer to those who attended the Specialty Graphic Imaging Association’s (SGIA) 2011 Expo in New Orleans.

The new model, for which the name has not yet been released, will be offered with white ink-ready subclasses. The machines have been designed with a modular concept. The entry-level “CMYK” model will have a built-in upgrade path to high performance with white ink.

The new model will replace the Brother GT-541, which will be discontinued. However, the GT-541 still will be available as a factory-refurbished product in the U.S. market. The Brother GT-782 is expected to remain in the market, as Brother will offer special options to compliment that machine’s high-productivity capability, including the larger 16” x 18” dual platens, bulk white ink option and proven reliability, according to the company.

The new product will be introduced at the Imprinted Sportswear Shows (ISS) in Long Beach in January 2012.
