Focus on DTG Printing
Resolute DTG Two new DTG printers join line-up
This spring has seen Resolute DTG add two new direct to garment printers to its growing line-up; the R-Jet Pro and the Ricoh Ri 2000. The R-Jet Pro is a no frills custom built DTG printer that utilises dual print head technology.
It has all the latest technology including offset dual print heads allowing for fast single pass printing. Resolute has left the fancy bits it doesn’t need in the factory keeping the build cost down. The R-Jet Pro benefi ts from a push button horse-shoe platen system with optical height limit switch including three sizes of interchangeable platens. Driven by Resolute RIP and running on Resolute Premium Inks, the R-Jet Pro is a powerful combination. Its wet cap stand by system is designed to be walk up ready without using ink while the printer is left in standby mode, this is a unique feature made possible by the properties of Resolute Premium Inks combined with Resolute’s tried and tested iWICS (intelligent white ink control system). Its industrial sized bulk ink system holds a full 1L of each colour including white. The iWICS system circulates the white ink through the printer and back into an automatically agitating storage tank. The R-Jet Pro looks after itself when not in use with nothing to shake and without using ink.
