I dont know what I am more excited for all the equipment or your editing!! Hahaha! You're doing big things this year! So happy for your new space! Keep leveling up your business!
You’ve been building as well I’m proud of you both 😁
Thanks so much, and likewise to you. It's going to be a big year 🙌🏻
I watch you both and you both inspire me tremendously
Most people take 10+ years to get where you are! This really shows how dedicated and OCD you are😂😂🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
It's all about putting in the fucking work 🤘🏻
Welcome to the DTG World!
I've had my Echo2 for two years now and I can share three tips for you:
1 - Getting the machine going in the morning is super fast, a typical Monday morning is just a simple head-clean cycle are you are running at good color almost immediately.
2 - You are going to go through white ink faster than you think. You can dial in all the settings and streamline all the art, but you are still going to use up white faster than you think you are.
3 - Shut Down at the end of the day is way more important than anything else. Shutting down for the weekend is still more important again. Clean everything and then clean it again. Pay the most attention to the parking station, it keeps the print head wet and if it doesn't you are going to need a new print head way too soon ( I speak from experience).
Having said that.... I can't wait to see more about the DTF process!
Can I ask your opinion of the Echo2 in terms of reliability? Been trying to decide between the Echo2 and the Epson F2100. Not sure I like how the Echo2 is a mashup of two different machines but as Lee says, the droplet size is way smaller than the Epson.
Thanks a lot man, that's all really good advice. I have a wide format and a lot of the maintenance seems similar so far, but I'm sure I'll find the quirks and differences once I get these running
@@ukprintshop "..Can I ask your opinion of the Echo2 in terms of reliability?"
Nearly bulletproof. Keep the machine clean, and pay extra attention to the capping station to keep it clean, and you'll be printing quality stuff for a good long time.
👀 👀 👀 uhmmmm is that a 100K subscribers I’m seeing??? CONGRATS!!
Hell ya it it's! Stoked!
Man your videos are dope. So honest, real, no bullshitting and I really enjoy it like you were my print buddy from next doors.
Keep it up brother!! You‘re doing amazing!
That's awesome to hear man, that's how I always hope they come out. Thanks 🤘🏻
I follow your videos since you start in the screen printing world and I so glad to see how your business has grown, congrats! Have an excellent year, Lee!
Glad your recovering man. Thanks for all you dude. Congratulations on your reward you deserve it!!!
I appreciate it dude!
CONGRATS ON THE AWARD MAN!
Thanks!
Another great video bro!!
Can't wait to see the whole shop set up!
Those things looks awesome 👌👌
Love your channel. Very informative and inspirational 💐
Thanks!
I can’t wait to see when you have this shop up and going! How amazing!
Same here! It's been a long time coming, almost there though 🙌🏻
The new print shop will be a beast. Let me go order my dtf printer ASAP.
This place is going to be ready for damn near anything 🙌🏻
You're an inspiration to us screenprinters, as well as those of us breaking into video. I've been a pro photographer for years (my day job) and a screen printer for less than two. Following you helped me discover a new passion... video. Thanks of for that!!
That's super rad to hear man!
And almost forgotten... Congrats on your trophy 🏆🏆🏆 you deserve it🤗🏆
Thanks!
Congrats on 100K and the shop is looks soooooo nice!
Thanks a lot man 🤘🏻
Welcome to the DTG world! I'm super stoked you get into it to give some good honest information about DTG and it's benefits to print shops. Looking forward to some DTG printing content.
It's definitely going to be a interesting addition to the shop 🙌🏻
hahaha. I loved the pickup line on the real estate agent. lol. Congrats on the award man.
I thought it was hilarious, she wasn't quite as amused though 😂😂😂
Congratulations Brotha. You certainly deserve it. Hard work and great work always get recognized.
Thanks dude 👊🏻
Congrats on the award! Your style of shooting and producing these videos is on a level few can match.
Thanks a lot dude 👊🏻
Your shop is going to be 🔥🔥🔥I love fact that you do stuff so different. I been here since the beginning. I can imagine nothing but killer merch being produced out this shop. Now we can't wait to see your new manual press set up. But where hell are gonna put go plus embroidery 🤣🤣🤣 guess I gotta wait and see.
Thank god he has that extra space on his property
It's going to be a tight squeeze in here once everything shows up. I'm going to need an expansion before the year is over haha
Best DTG on the market for small shops that doesn’t print everyday! I have mine since 2019 and I couldn’t be happier. Tons of print with little ink and daily maintenance takes less than 5 minutes with minimal amounts of cleaning solution.
My machine has gone idle for over 2 months (NOT RECOMMEND :p) without any maintenance, no flushes no waste, all I did was a heavy head cleaning and started printing again!
That's great to hear, I don't think any other machines could handle something like that without issues. I can't wait to test it out and see what I can do
Man so kick ass to see you growing and building your business. Hope 2022 bring you mad gains in your work life and home life. Keep up the great work bro 👍👍
Thanks a lot, hoping for a big year 🤘🏻
Oh man, gettibg in to everything 🤙🏼
No messing around here 🤘🏻
Congrats on the award! Its awesome to your hard work paying off in other ways.
I tried to go to your website but it says it under construction, excited to see what you got going on for the site and to get some more merch.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks man. There's a lot of new stuff in the works over here, once the new shop is done I'll have a ton of cool things to show everyone
Congratulations on the award definitely deserve it from watching your channel move from motorcycle to printing you push yourself and try your best keep up the good stuff bro 🤘🤘
I appreciate that 🙌🏻
Congrats on the 100k subs! Can't wait to see that plaque on the wall. Shops coming out dope! Keep it going.
Thanks man 🤘🏻
Congrats Lee! Love being able to watch your business grow to be the best out there. Can't wait to see the awesome DTF content you are going to produce!
Thanks a lot 🙌🏻. It's going to be really fun diving into this new world of print

Thanks man! Super stoked 🤘🏻
Glad to see you have brought up some of the issues with these machines like the maintenance cycles and the roller for pre treat solution.
I'm also very interested to see how it does the DTF and what the quality would be like.
I'll definitely be looking for all the highs and lows of these machines. I'm excited to see what it's all about
Amazing setup cant wait to see it up and running.
Good one bro! 👍🏾
I just noticed the 100k subscribers 🤸🏽♂️🤸🏽♂️😊✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Hell ya! 🙌🏻
Congrats!!
Super jelly about your sponsorships and new equipment, I’m falling way behind now.
Thanks! I've definitely gotten some really cool opportunities this past year
sooooo sick
long wait is over dude.. power B|
Congrats on 100k! Shop is coming together for sure.
Thanks! Stoked to hit it finally
1:09 is such a great shot! Get my man his silver play button already!!!
I'll see it in 6 months probably haha, but at least I've got the number now 🙌🏻
SHADETREE SURGEON brought me here. Support 🇨🇦👍
Gotta steal it. "I'm trying to make a move here". Love the content. Keep at it. Congrats on the award!
I thought it was a such a golden line 😂. Thanks!
Congratulations bro I started screen printing and went to vinyl good to see your progress good job brother
Waiting for these videos to drop like it’s a freestyle Friday on 106 and park back in 08’!
😂😂😂
Awesome dude, congrats on the award, niiiccceeee, well done
Thanks man 👊🏻👊🏻
Cool to see everything you got on the go Lee! It’s been a minute since I’ve seen ya haha Giver hell brother!!
Been a long time man! Thanks a lot, feel free to pop in and check it out when it's all done
I like your Shadow of Intent jacket!
One of my favorite bands 🤘🏻
AHHHH, Love the intro with Cat.. More of the Cat please.... MEOW...
all new everything!! congratulations!! 🍾 nice award!! you deserve it! from a fellow printer.
Thanks a lot!
Stoked you got this printer, I've been looking into this one, but zero content. 🔥 Vid as usual!
You deserve it bro!
Finding good content for DTG and DTF is really tough on here. A lot of bad info or even worse DIY stuff going on. I'm going to hopefully change that for everyone once I figure this out haha
@@leestuart38 you got it. Look forward to seeing this printer in action
Bro🤯🤯🤯 i just want to see this print shop on fully operational, and i would kill to watch what comes out of it.
Ps. You are my inspiration " i want to be like you some day"🙏
Super cool to hear! Once this place is finished we're going to turn out some killer stuff, I've already got a lot on deck waiting 🤘🏻
You should've go with Brother GTX Pro (or Pro Bulk if you don't want to shake cartridges every morning). I have the PolyPrint Pretreater Pro and the overspray and the waste is awful. I took it because it was one of the expensive and coolest pretreater on the market, but I regret it now. Viper Preteater - an openbox pretrater has almost 0 overspray. Shultz is also great. Best part of the PolyPrint pretater is the recirculating system which mixes the pretreatment liquid. Welcome to DTG world and good luck!
🔥🔥🔥
Congrats Lee. Really looking forward to how you use that Polyprint to do DTF efficiently. Speed is the caveat for me.
It'll be interesting to see what it can do. Really excited to get started in the world of digital
Would love some updates on your DTG journey so far.
Haven't fired them up yet, but I'll be doing it for the first time in a video in the next few weeks 👍🏻
i don't mind if it was 2 hours long xD keep em coming man
Would I be a dick for asking for longer videos? Haha love you bro, but we need atleast an hour of your energy!
I’ll be a dick with you.
Absolutely agree. It’s contagious.
I'm gonna need a film crew and an editor to make that happen haha. Id love to do it
Congrats!
Thanks 🤘🏻
got some samples printed by this machine, looks very promising for some great quality! Looking forward to more content :)
I can't wait to put these things through their paces and see what comes out of it 🙌🏻
Welcome to DTG club Lee but you are going to need another Echo 2! 👀👀
I hope I run into that problem haha
First of all congratulation on the 100K milestone, that's great and honestly you deserve it!
Also wtf? Polyprint is Greek? How on earth I have never heard of... oh crap ofc I have met them in Graphica Expo 2019.
Unbelievable how something can pass under your radar, I just stopped the video halfway and went digging in my archive, I still have their flyer for the TexJet plus but back in the day I was looking mostly on sticker printing.
I will definitely going to drop a word about how unexpectedly rediscovered them through that cross promo in Graphica 2022!
You are our hero.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE 100K BRO!!
Thanks man!
Just throwing this out there...Use your pallet jack to lift heavy stuff as high as it will go so that you are not killing your back trying to lift from the floor.
It doesn't really go high enough to make it worth while
I love your content so much. I have never screen printed but I keep watching. This video however... I own a big DTF shop. We started it as a DTG shop before we knew what we were getting into but over the first year realized DTG has so many issues that we switched over to DTF and have never looked back.
I am curious to see how hard you push to conquer DTG. Because of your tenacity there is a chance you will go hard on DTG just to master it for no other reason than to say you did. It will be interesting to watch you overcome some of these things. With DTF you actually don't have to overcome any of the things that make DTG unrealistic is most situations.
All that to say... Don't sleep on DTF, get ready for the challenge of the pretreat box with DTG, wash test, wash test, wash test.
This is going to be fun to watch!!
Out of interest, what dtf printer do you have?
@@ukprintshop well.... You have to understand that we started our shop with the intention of being a DTG shop. So we purchased several Freejet 330 TX Plus DTG printers by Omniprint. After 6 months of constant tweaking of settings and trial and error we tried printing on film with those printers and that immediately took away all of our problems. So we currently are still using the Omniprint DTG printers but printing DTF with them. We are very close to purchasing the powderless DTF printer from Cobra. We have had many conversations with the owner and our rep from Cobra but are still waiting on samples from them.
@@jlair thanks for that. I’ve seen some good results with omniprint machines doing dtf :)
@@ukprintshop in my opinion DTF is the only realistic way to go with an Omniprint. But sadly once you realize that, you realize there are WAY better options for DTF than omniprint! It is what it is, we made the investment so we have to make the best of it. Things will be much faster and efficient once we get a real DTF printer. Lol
Definitely looking forward to the challenge of learning all of this stuff. DTF has my attention as well, I'd love to start producing those things for clients at some point.
New follower and very jealous to see all of your new gear. A comment if you are reviewing these... Your videos are awesome, but I have one suggestion. When you move from your narration to music, the bass is so heavy it just about shakes my desk. I am constantly turning the audio up and down when watching. Other than that, can't wait to see all this new stuff working for you. I am a complete noob to the world and living vicariously through you!
I enjoy your videos man! Keep it up. I have a print shop myself…. Flatbeds/Roll to Roll/Laser engraving etc but want to get into shirts someday. I’ve learned quite a bit from ya!
Thanks man. Those are machines I'll hopefully have in here this year too 🤘🏻
Oh man! First of all, congrats on the award! You definitely diverse it!
2nd, that dtg setup looks solid and cant wait for the review! Now i feel bad i didn`t managed to sent you those dtf prints on time to test them...
Awesome video like always, shop is coming along really nice! Well done!
Btw, my 2 year old is obsessed with Wheels 🤣
Thanks a lot dude. Can't wait to get into DTG and DTF now and see what this stuff is all about while I'm in control of it 🤘🏻. Everyone on team Wheelie, he's a superstar 😎
Please please review it as a DTF!
Definitely will get into everything it can do in the DTF realm 🤘🏻
Congratulations on 100k man :D
Thanks a lot!
I’ll be interested to see how much your use it, in the UK I think we’re seeing a big decline in DTG sales and more customer buying in transfers or moving across to DTF, love the content though
That's simply because the cost of the equipment isn't accessible to everyone, when the cost of a heat press is. Printing directly onto the shirt will always be a better end product than a transfer
I'm now interested in that dtg machine just for the purposes of printing dtf transfers... :)
Can't wait to check that out
Congrats on the award bud
Thanks a lot 🤘🏻
Hey therre, I'm curious what are your thoughts on this DTG printer after having it for a while. Is it worth the investment or would have chosen a differt MFG?
Well its about fu***** time! Lol
Damming son shop is looking 👌🏿
Getting there 🙌🏻
Hey Lee, I like your videos. When is going to be a review of your Texjet Echo 2 coming out. I have been waiting your unbiased review of its performance. I want to buy one but waiting for a good review. Thanks
It'll be a few months before I review it. I still have to go through the install process and test it out for a while, but there will be videos on all of that along the way 👍🏻
you are in 2040 already congrats lee 🙌🙏🏽🙏🏽
great video, congrats on rising star award and secondly congrats on 100k subs, next award coming soon. your video inspire me to get a heat press to create my own brand.
Thanks a lot man. You can go far with a heat press, that's exactly how I started 🤘🏻
You need to get yourself some lifting straps. Their super slick for lifting heavy and awkward shit.
Welp, 3 months ago I commented DTG. Now you have one congrats! But you should've gotten the brother gtx or the epson F3070.
Everyone is sleeping on polyprint
Congratulations on the award.
I have been looking forward to you doing DTG since you first mentioned it some time ago.
If I may offer some advice (which in all likelihood you probably already know) to save you a headache down the road, stock up on nozzles for the pretreat machine.
While there are ways to keep them functioning longer, having spares is always best.
Great work as always and looking forward to the next video.
Thanks man that's great advice. I'm really excited to get into this stuff and learn a whole new aspect of the industry
I love the outakes :)
Always my favorite part
Which DTG printer would you recommend to start off as a small business?
I can't wait till your up and running I will order my customers jobs I can't do from you bro
I can make that happen
#salute big dawg !!!
Since I have a DTG on my business, I struggle a lot to increase sale to cover up my ink pouch, even though I have a job or not, the ink will always circulate and drain to waste tank... 😂 😂
That's a big problem with so many printers. They say it isn't with this machine, I'll believe it when I test it though haha
So excited for a every little detail. Glad you're feeling better, do you eat anything else besides pizza? lol I see you hit 100k I tell all my friends to subscribe cant wait to see you hit 1million. Congrats on the award and the one coming from You Tube.
Pizza is life 🙌🏻. Thanks!
Fuck yeah!!!
Will you be at the Long Beach iss show ?
Negative
Estou entre a GTX pro e a Tex Jet echo 2. Qual a melhor?
@Lee Stuart what camera do you use for videos
I use a Sony A7S3 and FX3
