What both companies had to say Nigel Treacy, managing director at Solar Signs said: “After looking at a number of potential DTF options, when we saw the InkTec printer in action it was obvious that it was going to be the right choice for us. It’s style, compact nature, and obviously its production capabilities meant it did not take too long for us to make a decision.” Nigel continued: “There has been so much talk about DTF and the difference it can make, which is why when as a business we offer multiple aspects of promotional merchandise from branded workwear to personalised garments, it was essential for us to get the right kit for our operation. Particularly as we were supporting such a well-known Irish fi gure as Conor McGregor with his merchandise shop.
“In addition, we were keen for it to be more of a partnership and really liked that InkTec were about more than just providing the machines and consumables. “Instead, with their team of dedicated engineers they have worked closely with us from the initial sale conversation to installation and since to ensure that we are completely comfortable with the kit.” Sarah Hall, sales executive at InkTec, said: “This is a super exciting time to be working with DTF. InkTec have been there from the beginning and our reputation, the build quality of the printers, ovens/ shaker, alongside the close support our engineers deliver means we’re seeing more and more businesses turning to InkTec for their preferred DTF solution.”
