Focus on DTG Printing THEMAGICTOUCH
Ready to invigorate the DTG market A
vailable now, TheMagicTouch introduces the new Ricoh Ri 100, which looks set to invigorate the DTG printing market with its space saving design.
The Ricoh Ri 100 prints images directly onto fabrics using state-of-the-art DTG technology.
This innovative printer can fit into a space as small as 399x698mm, making it one of the smallest DTG printers ever. The printer comes with an optional heat press finisher, which provides heat cure treatment for longer-lasting and professional- looking prints. The printer and its finisher can be stacked to maximise functionality without sacrificing space.
Users can print one-of-a- kind personalised T shirts, bags, cushions, sweatshirts, aprons and more for customers.
Jim Nicol, managing director of TheMagicTouch, said: “Ever since the introduction of DTG over 12 years ago we have been offered distribution and re-seller status with
many of the past and present DTG machines in the market. “However, the bottom line was simple, I personally would not buy one when considering the market, value for money and return on investment. This is no longer the case as the Ricoh is indeed a machine that ticks all the boxes for those looking to enter the DTG market without the risk. I would buy one, as did 27 other people at Printwear & Promotion LIVE! who gave their £1 deposit for an expected delivery this month.” Ricoh Design Software lets users import and edit images before printing, with no specialised knowledge or skills required.
RESOLUTE DTG A solution at all three levels of DTG printing T
he R-Jet 5i has entry level pricing with mid priced performance. Printing an A4 image onto a black shirt in just three minutes and
a few seconds itʼs no slouch, with a print area of 365x465mm itʼs not small either. Resoluteʼs 100% money back upgrade path means businesses starting in the DTG business, can invest in an R-Jet 5i with no risk of losing money when itʼs time to upgrade. Switch to an R-Jet 6 industrial DTG system within 12 months and receive 100% money back for the R-Jet 5i. The R-Jet 6 uses six industrial print heads with 12 channels of jetting power. With a huge range of shirt pallets available, including twin sleeve, caps, hoodie, polo and many more there is not much an R-Jet 6 cannot handle. When the demand goes from the high hundreds a day to thousands a day the new Shima Seiki SIP range takes over. This latest

A simple five step process 1) Choose the design – Use the accompanying software to choose the design. Set the printing mode based on the fabric used.
2) Set fabric – Set the T shirt or bag in the tray. Even beginners can accomplish this task with ease.
3) Pre-press – Insert the tray into the finisher to smooth out creases.
4) Print – Printing takes approximately two minutes. Just load and unload the tray – it is that easy.
5) Fix the design – Use the finisher (with built-in safety features) to fix the ink and lock in the design.
