Of the two Davids in this thread, Barry seems to be directing his post to you.

Hello Baz,
The DTG machines are printing white for our garment/fabric solutions, however the white inks working in combination with our glass, metals, acrylics, etc. will not be available until Dec. of this year. We are currently testing, and hope to make announcements in the next two months.
Regardless of the white inks, or other inks you use in the direct flatbed technology, pre-coats are still necessary on many of the substrates. Adhesion issues are getting better all the time.

Thanks David
I went down to the local agent last night and he showed me the Textile printer. I am very impressed, He seems to think that you dont need to pre spray when printing to metals ,glass etc. He was talking of a heater element that preheats the object to be printed ???
I suppose the technology is very early and needs to go through a trialling period. I can understand the difficulty with the inks, Anyway thanks for your interest and I am definately hot for this machine, Regards Barry Grant (Baz)
