DTG 1 Year Review Epson F2100 Direct To Garment

- This is a review of the performance and my feelings of ownership for a DTG machine. This is based on 1 year of use. The machine is an Epson F2100 and the Mister T-1 Pretreat machine. For the record, I also have a Stahl's heat press.
Dark side of the business people think of as "easy riches." Hardly any "influencers" are honest about these realities. Appreciate the video
Great review! It’s sad that truthful videos like this don’t get the attention they deserve. Most TH-camrs prey on what people want to hear vs facts.
I’ve owned one of these for 3 years and I still clicked on the video.. glad similar feedback
Thanks for honest review. Lotta info ppl don’t know. Ppl think it’s easy and they print money easy peasy
Great addition for the right shop but Im still waiting for the tech and the process to evolve more. One day it will largely replace traditional screen printing... but it isn't there yet. Long ways to go. Ive owned my shop for 14 years now and I would love to replace the old way with the new way eventually. Just isn't feesable yet. Too many things DTG can't do yet and putting one shirt on 3 machines numerous times is a bit much. Gotta love the print quality though. Limiltess color and high res with the push of a button. Awesome. No more dark room, no more screens. In the end, with an easier, quicker process, and no limatations concerning certain fabrics ... this will conquer the industry.
So you do screen printing? Do you do heat transfers as well? How have you been in business for so long? Any tips?
Sounds
Nice vid. you covered a lot of topics I wanted to know from a Epson owner. It was one of the machines that we considered initially. Again, great informative video. I'm sure it'll help a lot of people doing research.
Glad it was helpful!
Saw your video before buying, honestly I agree not worth it unless you are selling at a really high price.
Just subscribed as I have a policy of always subscribing to any channel below 1000. I wanted to say how much I loved the T shirt your wearing. Wonderful wonderful design. & I look forward to watching your video to final grok the inside dope. Thankyou for making it!!
thanks for giving an honest reviews on this dtg machines.
Pretreat them in bulk before hand - mate.I dont think we need dtg but we already have most of the equipment that he mentioned here for the process that we use. We are now looking to print full garments and sew them.
As long as you can get this printer to use 3rd party high quality inks - you are golden. THE ONLY PROBLEM is the ink cost in most of these printers. But I understand the mans frustration - the white ink circulation constantly throwing your money away... :-))))) I would probably use it to print only white / light colour garments except if I find a cheap way of buying ink....
Very honest and smooth review bro !
Thank you for the info. Was considering this. Will watch a video of you making a colored shirt.
Thanks a lot for the video, it opened my eyes. I can see how much money i need to spend to start a business, plus labor intense. I will keep DTG aside look for something else.
take a shot and lowball someone like me who has one and is selling it. This thing takes up a lot of space and they no longer have use for it. They could go for a nice price...in my opinion anyway.
This was amazing. Very useful. Thank you!
I do screen printing and I would use this for those 5 / 6 full color prints that I have to do a screen for each colors.
Somewhere out there is a person who bought a DTG for the same reason that wants to talk to you about printhead clogs because of inconsistent use😉
Thanks for your input.
I still want it. I really want it for the custom orders lol. I love the idea of printing ppl's personal pics.
true with the personal pics....I just would do on white substrates only if it were me
Dtg has already replaced screen printing when the large Tvshirt companies use them such as fifth sun
All you have to do is order “pretreated” shirts. Theyre great.
Can you acually order pretreated t-shirts?
What's the best printing technology to print face or picture of persons onto a T-shirt?
This review was very informative:)
Thank you for sharing
Where did you buy the Ecofreen Mister T1 Pretreatment Machine
hey man ! what is difference in feel (repeat feel) between print of DTG and DTF machine, is DTG also rubbery like DTF at the end of the day ? Appreciate honest feedback of yours. Now that's a point - owner's not using out of frustration.
You should have talked to DTG owners from other manufacturers before buying. Would you consider getting a referral fee for sending t shirt orders to another local DTG machine owner from a different manufacturer?
Good video, thanks for info.
thank you
Way better than the Ricoh 1000 that I have . Huge buyers beware ! Ricoh should be sued for that machine
I know a TH-camr doing great with sales with hers. What don’t you like I was considering the Ricoh 2000
Hello, I would like to bay ink chip for epson f2100 or chip reseter. Where can I bay it? Best quality.
Hard pass. Thanks for the video 👍🏻
So I have to have that other machine as well???
If you want to print on black shirts. If you are dedicated to whites and lights only you don’t need the pretreatment
you can pretreatment by hand and be just as quick once you get your rhythm
Amazing video man, thank you
Which one is better for printing on the sneakers?
Of course someone local to me sells a machine at a great price and I miss out lol.
Yeah 7600 is a steal for both of those machines.
the alternative was to have the machines sitting there taking up space and causing frustration. They are gone and now I am better off.
Please is that machine is good for printing cloth
So you don’t have to pretreat white shirts?
no, not necessary
Can it print on a hoody?
absolutely...you just need to "thread" it on the platen.
Do you recommend any other machine ?
I really don't have a huge issue with the machine. I just think it's labor intensive and not a huge moneymaker.
Up and down
So much labor lol come on 2 30 sec push printer does all the work lazyyyy
It's not about the actual labor and more about time before the next shirt can get started. If it takes you too long, you're losing money
You think is good to buy it use ?
Yes, but I would probably lowball anyone selling it. If they are looking to get rid of it, chances are the love is lost. :)
How much epson pls sir? thank you
How many shirts did you do on the machine
I forget exactly. A few thousand or so. There is a counter on the machine. The guy that ended up buying it from me had a look. I personally never checked.
what did you get in replace of it
I discontinued all in house shirt making and pawn it out if necessary. My business is commemorative coins. I went off the reservation a little with shirts. :)
@@BostonJon ahh, so you got in a business without a mentor.
I’m here trying to convince myself to buy a DTG printer! 😂😊😢
… ok, I’ll stick to SupaColor! 🎉
@@inkmaprinting if the price is right and you know what to expect, it can work for you.
Yes sounds like Epson is expensive and time consuming. Company I work with can print 30 shirts per hour on black surface at cost of $1 ink per shirt, 1200 by 1200 dpi, full color.
Oh really!? And what company is that?
@@Bandionaire Ricoh Ri1000 and Ri2000
@@ToddBizCoach ummmnn so it seems like the more expensive machine is better.
lol even if the shirt is keeping up well- dude ur too old to be wearing a T w a 20yo girls face on it.. creeper flag
GFU
