What does the OvalJet offer or do differently that other similar
A When comparing to other high output industrial DTG printers the OvalJet prints onto a dry surface by using a series of built-in heat presses and flash cures which in turn make the inks more vibrant and brighter. The OvalJet’s hourly output is currently the fastest in the market and the dot-for-dot printing of the pre-treatment reduces any staining and is odourless.
